I agree with you. Unfortunately one thing I keep seeing in the developer community that frustrates me is this competition-like demand for learning new things. Sure I love learning new things. But I don't like learning new things just for the sake of learning things. You look around forums and websites, every time someone's asking for help and is confused about something, the average response roughly says "you are a lazy ass and you should feel bad about yourself because you didn't read the 60 pages of manual someone else wrote, oh you are also not smart enough, go learn new things, look at all these command line arguments that I have memorised..." our memory and human resources are too precious to have to deal with this stuff.
