Yeah and management alone doesn't suffice. Only managing the adding features and not managing the quality is a problem, and as I see it lack of leadership.

Well that is half of my point. I mentioned JavaScript, because I use it if I want most people to see my stuff. But what is wrong with a executable for C++ or C#? Where is my obligation to distribute a executable for every platform that resu

Expressing a dissenting opinion against the mainstream shouldn't have to the extent of threatening ones livelihood because it suppresses honest discussion. That is the point 0x49 is trying to make. You are inferring with your comment t
