I've always done application support and very little development, although I can do it. Find the problem, fix the problem (whether it be people, hardware or software) and repeat the process.
Only reason I chimed in on this one is that I agree with you 100 %. There was a time when I didnt see nothing wrong with all the .prg, frx, etc being in the folder on the server. But thats when I was doing smaller then 5 people shops.. When you get into the 2,000 and above user shops, that just don't cut it.

No project No APP No source code system A disaster waiting to happen. And worse.. Different versions of the same named PRG in various folders... No idea which one was the right one..
