> 1) Dozens of technologies John - that is the key problem in my mind. I don't think I've met very many developers that knew all of these well: raster graphics (Photoshop), vector graphics (Illustratator), CSS, Javascript, HTML, XML, SQL, SQL Server, MVC Frameworks, application servers, ASP.NET, etc, etc...
