What I found incredible is that the new generation doesn't even know the feeling of working in an environment that gives you the power you had with something like Delphi, Borland Pascal, or Visual Basic. With one of these tools you could create pretty much any kind of application you wanted (with VB maybe you needed some Visual C++ for the difficult parts).
Today's new developers have to deal with a landscape that is, in my opinion, discouraging. You have to spend a huge amount of time setting up environments, creating sane default configurations, and learning about hundreds of dependencies, before you can even start creating something that would be considered semi-useful.
