You and I have talked about this many times my friend. Frankly I don't like the way software works either. It's all client/server no matter how many tiers and no matter how modern developers try to denigrate that term in favor of MVC, MVVM, Cloud, REST, or whatever they're pushing these days. We can disagree with the status quo but my consistent position is that we should continue working within the confines of the technology that exists until something better comes along. I continue to strive to make lemonade from the lemons. Many MV people disagree with that, preferring to wait, and keep everything within BASIC until the DBMS vendors come up with some magic. While these people wait the world moves forward around and without them. Those of us who try to move forward with the rest of the world get frustrated with the stupidity and limitations of the technology imposed upon us in terms of protocols, languages, and coding paradigms, but at least we're on the field playing the game and not on the bench. I think it comes down to some well known phrases: "Grant me the power to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I can't, and the wisdom to know the difference." "If you can't be with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with." "Who moved my cheese?"
