And the skilled developers aren't the young cats, they are the old dogs. Don't confuse what's popular with what's good. Personally, I know just as many terrible old developers as I know young and just as many excellent young developers as old. What you're saying here is passing judgement on a group of people due to their age just the same as the OP appears to be passing judgement on a group of people due to their development platform preference.

If being a good developer is correlated with IQ (which I suspect is true), skill should be normally distributed independently of age.

Of course there are skilled young developers as much as there is terrible old developers. I was responding in context of the OP wasn't trying to pass judgement on age group simply trying to restore balance. Sorry if it was unclear.
