They develop applications that leave the client with no aftersales support
and nowhere to turn to correct bad programming except to have to do the whole
application over.

Yes, I have run across this many times. I have worked on many projects where customers could not get help from the original
developer of the application. I am working on a current project where the developer gave the customer a .mde file. The customer
has several problems with the application and the developer wants an arm and a leg for the original .mdb file. I am recreating the
entire application for less than half the cost of the original .mdb file and will give the customer a .mdb file in case he wants
to make modifications any time in the future. All my work carries a sixty day guarantee for the customer to test drive my work.
Within the sixty days, I fix any problems the customer finds (very rare) and make any modifications the customer wants.
