Designers!
"Designers! Bah! Who needs 'em? You can get a computer program cheap that does the same thing they do. Anybody can move stuff around in a kitchen until you get what you want. Save the money!"
Someone at work told me that.
We just got back from the Kitchen Designer. Skeptical as always, we didn't expect much. She listened to our ideas for the kitchen, and then turned it all around and made it better.
"Do you really want that huge cabinet there? Why not put a smaller one over here, and a counter here, and then... If you build the peninsula like that, it will collapse..."
When we saw what she was proposing, it was clear that it was better than what we had come up with. She extracted from our plans the essence of what we wanted and then designed something better. Who'd-a guessed.
She is off designing a kitchen for us now, and we wait eagerly to see what she will come up with.
