Lucky ones!

After I moved from nearly embedded/very low level development to applications space, I see a total different world.
You know, I did not write anything significant in user mode on a PC in last 5 years, and the difference since that times is just amazing! Even Eclipse that I am using as an IDE right now looks outstanding. It is being blamed by most of my co-workers for being awkward comparing to IntellJ IDEA, but still using it's source level debugger is more fancier than oscilloscope, or investigating kernel panics and blue screens using a remote serial connection and asm debugger.

Unfortunately, the ((code complexity) / (development convenience)) factor is still roughly the same ;)
