Ah, one of my favourite topics :)
The thing is that you don't break it down to a programmer that his app

sucks. You tell him how to make his app even better than it now is, in

a way that would keep his workflow more or less along the same lines

while improbing every other bit. And with time you can even convince

him/her to improve workflow. I've been doing that for years, and guess

what ­-- it works.
