Hi all and thanks for the many responses. My feeling reading this post was about tools (partly echoing Greg): 'we' know 'all of us' should use the appropriate tool, e.g. version control (is that what you call the moral high-ground?). But for the novice, these tools/methods have steep learning curves, thus high upfront time investment, and no immediate benefit (!!!). There is a burden on 'us' to convince 'others' of the need to invest time to adopt these tools.
I am not sure whether more convincing (how? Research-based evidence?) or training is the answer, versus much easier to learn and use tools.
