I largely agree, but think it has more to do with passion or interest than strictly skill. Any process that leads people to work with each other to GSD seems best. The best project I've ever been apart of was with myself and a couple others in other time zones in our free time. We communicated by email with our progress, what we planned to do, what we needed from others, etc. And since the team was small, everyone had their place and pitched in, and we created something beautiful at an amazing pace. It is an open source project I work on to this day, though largely just small fixes anymore. In a corporate environment, you tend to have some burn outs, some 'holier-than-thou', some paycheck collectors, etc. The biggest difference probably is that you can't choose who you work with. It seems Agile as I've seen is implemented around that, which ultimately discourages the behaviors described in the prior paragraph. It becomes one writing quickly to finish things for the manager, rather than writing things for your coworkers.
