I get where he is coming from, we developers need very specific situations to be effective.
Interestingly enough or perhaps rather boringly enough - I am currently writing an article on how to manage developers, the article is aimed at people who have never been a developer.

Damn. I don't get on with GIMP - it just feels too clumsy.
