I agree.
I posted this in response to some ongoing work and discussion about the
OFBiz UI.
I hope that it helps.

Hi Ron
I haven't read the full report, but I agree with most of the points in the
synopsis. My personal feeling about UIs is that - If it doesn't look right,
it doesn't feel right. Users Because of the pervasiveness of social media
applications, most users expect to find the same or similar
functionalities/experiences in other types of applications. For me, some of
the key phrases in the abstract are "embedded BI elements", "social or
mobile capabilities" and "presented well". Some of these issues have
surfaced in discussions on this mailing list - such as whether some
functionalities/components should be "core" or "special purpose". These
discussions are important from a project management point of view, but they
loose significance when regarded from a user point of view. Users simply
demand an experience for ERP applications which is similar to that which
they have become accustomed to with other apps.

This is a an article from TEC Technology Evaluation Centres that discusses
their view of the value of a great user interface for an ERP.
"In recent years, it has become evident that all vendors of enterprise
resource planning (ERP) solutions provide robust functional capabilities or
partner with best-of-breed solutions to fill functional gaps. But one area
where ERP solution providers are beginning to differentiate themselves is
how they deliver on user interface, thereby shaping a user’s experience
within the system."
