You want us to . force our users, who are some of the laziest people on the planet, to . install a full-fledged relational database management system??? On . their home computer??? Like what, they're going to become DBAs? And . you're calling that a feature? Well, why stop there? Why not just ship . them our source code directly and force them to compile it on the . COMMAND LINE? Every user is a programmer, right? Well? ARE YOU OUT OF . YOUR F--KING MIND??" We do that!
