That's just moronic and plain wrong and if you truly believe that I'm feeling sorry for you. If you'd had any experience running live servers you'd know that changing API's _always_ have consequences. I'm worried about even changing trivial things like upgrading minor versions of XML parsers. To change the VM I rely on is a serious undertaking and certainly not done at a drop of a hat. > But if I am the only one asking, maybe I am drunk.

The first thing I ask programmers I hire is "How do you prefer to program? What is your environment like?" ... If the answer is along the lines of "vi", "emacs", "notepad", "zsh", "bash", "windows command line", then I feel much relieved...
