I am glad to see this topic is moving from a debate to a realization/complaint. A friend of my was saying the same sorts of things about Visual Basic when it really started getting popular. "Computer Science will be lost because all these people have no clue what they are doing and still are making a useful product." I think the reality was "I got this job to practice computer science, and I am quite annoyed because I have to use someone else's software rather than write my own." I hate when this happens, but one has to move on.
