Why BPEL is not the holy grail for BPM

Check out Pierre Vigneras' paper on Why BPEL is not the holy grail for BPM. He states that, looking at recent articles and various BPM solutions, it would be easy to assume that BPEL is now the standard to be used when implementing a workflow engine. From a technical perspective this may well be correct, however few people will claim that BPEL can be easily understood by the end-user, a.k.a the business analyst, who definitely prefers a graph based notation such as BPMN.

Your thoughts?
