I think Paul was referring to software bloat introduced by development environments, not the inherent skills of the developers. DEs can turn out terrible HTML, with many levels of redundancies appearing during the development process, and clunky code due to extensive use of libraries, internal checking, and very general transaction-processing protocols such as Tuxedo. There's very definitely a place for these things in big-system implementations, but it will be interesting to see what survives into the age of internet-connected toilets. I had about ten years tutoring Software Engineering projects at a university in Sydney.
