I felt like the post isn't quite finished. He could have gone into greater depth. That said, to me, a great programmer can be measured by how much fun he is having when programming. Not by how much he hate particular tasks. Programming requires constant act of learning, that gets old real fast if you don't love what you do. I admire programmers who can take shitty tools that he hates, cleverly hack it, and make something cool with it.
