IFAIK the biggest problem is the employee turnover. The good programmers jump from employer to employer with higher and higher salaries. This again means that the companies must frequently hire new people who must more or less start from scratch, or spend a long time analyzing the former programmer's source code. This again means that the time to bring a new application to the market is far longer than expected, and time is money. I suspected that this would happen many years, and it really amazes me how naive the american companies must have been.
