Yes, exactly. I don't say the above to be cruel to the individual developer(s) or designers involved, but to the way I perceive eSolution's business to work based on their output of city-owned applications over the years. They provide functionality that minimally meets specifications, and either the city doesn't care about UX or isn't knowledgeable enough to judge what good UX is.
I've been a developer professionally since 1998 and if left to my own devices will 100% output a garbage pile of unusable interfaces. Working without a product designer (or without adequate attention from one shared on several projects) is deeply unpleasant and results in poor but cheap products.
