"My own (admittedly biased) perception is that top developers would achieve
better results given the power and flexibility of C++ but the average
developer will do better with managed code."

That's the statement that got up my nose. I've done more than my share of
C++ development, and I get irritated by the undeserved "techier than thou"
attitude that some C++ developers have. A language is a tool and nothing
more or less. The idea that someone is an inferior programmer based on their
choice of language makes as much sense as thinking that someone driving a
faster car must be a better driver.
