It would seem obvious from your statement about Lawson Software that you have never tried to run any of the other leading ERP products. If you see Lawson as bloated and horrible (your words) I’d love to see your thoughts on Oracle, Peoplesoft and SAP.
Salesforce.com is a well developed tool to do a specific task in the Saas model. Can you fathom how many orders of magnitude more difficult would it be to create an all-encompassing ERP system as Saas?
