I just have to add to this.  I have worked with quite a few CC{IE, NP, SP, ...} 
types lately that've been given lead positions and high responsibilities.  
(Hell, some have .sigs that look like the dictionary.  They're very good at 
passing cert tests.)  Many don't want to know about UNIX and Open Source 
Software.  I don't mean not use it in production, but don't want to know 
anything about it at all.  They don't want to know how the internals of any of 
it works.  They want to design by book regurgitation and operate by 
point-and-click.  They don't think about things organically or as the Big 
Picture, rather they have a very narrow point of view.  It's a change of 
personality type behind this.  Do the least amount of work for the most amount 
of money.  It's not geek-excitement that drives them.  It's a crazy world when 
CCxx certs are considered more valuable than EE or Comp Sci degrees.  :-(
