Yes, I have understood that point. Unfortunately, I think that the issue is much deeper than just using a higher level library that does the heavy lifting for you. That was the point of my long rant. > > The wider issue of having poorly educated/informed engineers making it > out into industry, well the best we can do is help make the OSG > attractive as solution for schools and universities and hobbiests, as > well as companies. Well, I am doing my part - we are using OSG for both research and teaching and it does make my life a lot easier. On the other hand, the climate in the society needs to change first - I can be teaching whatever I want, if we do not get higher enrollments and students actually coming to study not because it is better than being unemployed but because they are interested in the topic, the issues will not get fixed. However, that is a long term problem, not something that can be changed overnight.
