Having average programmers is possible, but it does two things. Features are added more slowely (sometimes half the rate) and management/architectural overhead has to be much higher as well. Personally I wish that I was working with better devs even if I would appear less exceptional; just so that I could learn a lot more from them and would have to do less refactoring of their existing code
