The other thing to consider when a bug has been opened for so long is that people have come to expect it, and so what comes into play is whether or not changing the now-expected behavior will break things.
And that can translate into a real cost for customers.
MS has a long list of well-documented "bugs" they'll never fix for this reason.

He would say you could have rewritten the application with the fix in that time.

So it's almost 8:15 and I'm still at home having breakfast.
Going to work in about 15 minutes.
I still have a pretty huge commute ahead of me, but at least it's not in the dead of night (well, maybe tonight as I'll be home late ).
This almost feels like the good old days (which lasted up to eight months ago) when I left for work at 9:30
In the meantime I've been leaving at 5:30
I hope never to leave before 8 again, but that's wishful thinking

So stop working as a security guard.

I should stop working so damn far from home.
The reason I had to start so early is to avoid traffic.
I get past two big cities with a lot of traffic jams.
If I leave at the wrong time I'm looking at a 2+ hour commute easily
If I leave at the right time it's still well over an hour.

We have a requirement for business process automation and workflow solution. I am looking at number of tools but evaluating them is getting bit tedious. Any suggestions from anyone out there in corporate world using decent workflow and business process automation tool ?
Requirements are to be able to integrate with AD, have ability to call web services, run basic SQL query , send notification emails to users , design some basic data entry forms and delegate work to someone.

I've used Windows Workflow Foundation in the past. It's straightforward enough to use and the fact that it integrates directly into Visual Studio is a major plus.

MS has an enterprise-level system called BizTalk. IIRC, it can do all of the things that you want, and is integrated with their development tools. They used to have demo disks of the server (the server would expire after 180 days, or some such).
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

If you have cash to burn, you could go with CA Technologies: they bought Automic last year. Automation[^]. Last place I worked at used their workflow automation tech and seemed pretty happy with it. It's just a *tad on the expensive side but it can do just about anything.

We switched over to K2 3 years ago and it works for us (red car rental company). K2 offers a great web-based editor (really works) and VS IDE integration. The Forms product works well for simple, forms driven stuff but it is an opinionated framework. Our solutions are all loosely coupled with UI's developed in MVC / Angular and the workflow is kept clean.
Great support, good training and quick to develop in - a decent dev can be up and going in a few days.

We end up buying K2 for our workflow needs. I have first form designed in SmartForms but I am struggling to get its look and feel right. Tried getting the bootstrap css in but it is much harder then I thought.
Only decent looking CSS I found is Lithium theme but that is still not jazzy enough for people up the chain. Even if it is paid one that is out there we will be happy to try. Any suggestion on getting a decent looking CSS for this ?

The company I work for has done a few workflow solutions using Nintex on top of SharePoint. I wasn't directly involved (I stay as far away from SharePoint as I can) so I can't really comment on how good of a product it was, and I don't know how much of what was built was custom code, but the end result was similar to what you're asking about.

Have a look at Airflow as well. It is a bit more adventurous (read Python) than WWF, K2, Automic or BizTalk, but definitely has its strong points.
It is simpler to install and use. The concept behind is well-thought and there's a good open source community behind the project. Some big names are using it too, so it has enough support from the business.
Deployment and configuration to multiple environments might be a challenge, but so is true for any other workflow framework.
