I don't posit that other programmers are stupid. I don't posit that XML and regex's are dumb. My anecdote is only that, based on real life observations, and I am purposefully not applying any form of judgment. Seriously. Stop before you write that again about anyone, much less whole categories of less enlightened programmers. Of course, perhaps I'm oversensitive to XML folks not taking web developers and other programmers seriously, because we've shot ourselves in the head that way a few thousand times before.
