What I like about these debates is .... ummm .... mmm ....

But what is interesting is how in a world where advances in IT are accelerating at an exponential rate we profess to know what dev tool will be best 10 years from now. I think the smartest thing a developer could do is nothing at all and wait until actually forced to learn something else ;)

Another interesting observation - virtually only westerners take part in these debates. I assume everyone else in the outsource world is busy making money ;)
