Also, you never hear about the programmers working on these projects. These teams solve their own problems and have no use for user groups like the UT, DevCons, etc.

I had an interview in a bank once - there was only one developer in house managing the applications. I don't think he knew about UT. In any case, the management decided to switch to Java.
