RE:"Don't engineers have any input anymore for the tools they will have to use? Is the software industry comprised solely of kids who never had to actually do anything but design interfaces?
Today's hardware is fantastic but the software is simply the sh*ts. Where have all the engineers gone?"

Don't worry, when this market gets done with them, the good old retired ones will have to go back to work.
I agree with you. Seems like a lot of software these days is marketing, hype and bull when all they have done is dumbed down the product inconvienienced the purchaser.

Elmer, <Is the software industry comprised solely of kids who never had to actually do anything but design interfaces?>

Maybe it's because the people these kids have to impress aren't really the engineers, but those who manage engineers. And the further removed management is from engineering, the more they'll be impressed with Mac-like GUIs.

You bring up a very interesting topic here. Care to comment more about what exactly you're evaluating?
