I couldn't agree more. I recently filled out a multi-page form for an
insurance provider. Once section was very poorly designed as if it was
designed using a word processing software. The section asked for my
children's name, ssn, birth date, address. None of the spaces were
sufficient for handwritten information. This is why i think it was designed
using word processing software. No competent forms designer would have
produced this travesty of a form.
