No many of them know nothing of Visual Studio. They know how to operate Google.

Honestly, aside from just having the mind for it, Google & time is all I've needed to figure out any of the programming challenges I've run into.

I think being able to google your way out of a problem is worth more than being able to grag a grid to a form, drag a query to a grid and call it a day...

Why should I have to spend Googling for how to write a H264 decoder when I can just drag one, written by people who know it really well, onto my surface?

I know that a lot of people like to argue that these people "don't understand what they're doing". Most Ruby developers don't understand much below a single level of abstraction presented by the language either.
