Nah not snobby enough really, at least here and now under the jackboot of "let people enjoy things" culture. I think the industry tends to be far too optimistic about technology ("if PHP was good enough for Facebook, then it's good enough for us") and far too pessimistic about people ("we can't switch to a better language because there's not enough talent out there. What do you mean, train them?") The rare quadrant of tech-selective/people-generous is where the magic happens imo.
