At the San Diego Best Practices SharePoint conference, I sat quietly and listened to the governance godfather himself, Robert Bogue, discussing with the other SharePoint "big kids" various reasons why InfoPath sucks in many situations and some of its current design faults. I mean, anybody who has used forms services knows what a pain redeployment is, how much of a pain managed code is, the horrible performance of web services, branding crap and the like. Thus, all were perfectly valid points.
But irrespective of how correct those points are, I’d like to categorically state why InfoPath 2007 and Forms Services are the best pieces of technology that Microsoft has ever invented.
The simple reason is this.
My wife likes it!
To fully explain the implications of why InfoPath rocks, I have created an IBIS issue map that makes the argumentation quite clear.
I rest my case.
Thanks for reading

I understand what you mean though… 😉

Haha – sucker! 🙂
Actually most of my joke points are trying to make a serious point. The one behind this one was the balance between technical/governance considerations versus user evangelism and endorsement.
