And I don't want to use crappy and shitty tools. I want to use good tools. I am less productive when I use crappy tools, it can be done, but then a lot of time is spent fighting the tools not really solving problem.

There are not that many good programmers. Or at least they are not the ones throwing resumes around. One has to find them, if they are good they are probably already in a good place and are not looking for job. So you just taking anyone from the street because they did some VBScript in High School you are going to replace one good programmers with even 100 incompetent ones. It is just not how it works.

Neither does Ryan. That's what the whole rant is about. He just wants to make software for users without having to hack through the forest of bad design decisions that is the modern Linux system.
Yeah I agree with Ryan's point there I was just replying to the GP about how nobody cares about programmers and how programmers who whine and complain are just easy to replace like cogs in a machine.
Except me, I care about me.
