Of course, this is a cyclical trend like high street fashion. But this time it is because enterprises software-makers are finally grokking 'user experience'.

As savvy enterprise developers are realising this trend, the user interface is turning sexier and easier to use than ever before.
The real money has always been in "business-oriented tech", but the infusion of social app concepts has given it a new lease of life.
