Mish.

Wrong. Pros use the appropriate technology for the appropriate task, and get paid for it, since the end result is better. When micro-management strikes, the pros quit.

Here's a model of the hierarchy to better explain things, rated in order of value added to technical decisions, and therefore the continued livelihood of a technology leading company:
1. Chuck Norris
2. Pros
3. Developers who aren't pros
4. People who code in languages that are directly interpreted
5. Janitors
6. Garbage men
7. Ordinary stones
8. CEOs
9. Accountants
10. People who code in languages that produce VM code
11. Microsoft coders
