But I think there space for both the cut and paste crowd and the deep knowledge folks. In most industries the tool makers are separate from the users. The latter aren't worthless or subhuman because they don't do the former.

In most industries there's a place for fast people and there's a place for perfectionists. Tooling is not a volume business but needs a very low failure rate and good support.

We just haven't sorted ourselves into camps yet, but I think the era of stackoverflow is the beginning of that process.
