I am still constantly amazed that HC refugees are still cropping up on this list. I think the lesson here (and this list) is that there are an incredible amount of extremely clever people out there with a mind-boggling array of NEW ideas they'd like to turn into software, but programming is not their idea of fun. HC went a long way in taking the 'pro' out of programming but for many it still is hard work. I think one hurdle is to 'educate' the masses that scripting is not as much hard work as programing is.
