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.
