I never said I attribute the decline to a handful of people. I don't know where you get that. One thing I've noticed is that listings often do ask for a grab bag full of skills. And it's unrealistic. No one can master all the skills these employers seem to want and so they get a "jack of all trades, but master of none." If they are listing a small set of specific skills, it's one thing, but sometimes these listings are ridiculous.

>Does it not perk your curiousity when so many people have disappeared from this forum over the last several years? And have not returned. Could it be that they are finding that they can develop apps just as well, if not better with other tools? Or that they find that there are far more job opportunities using other tools.
