i think the hours vary quite a bit, but on the whole programmers work more hours. i think it is expected that you put in more hours than just 40. i don't agree with a lot of what the article says, but i do agree that flexibility is a big focus these days, and due to rapid change, work load increases.
you say 'you can always leave and you always have the choice of were to work'. that's true to some extent in our field, but i don't think that's true of people in general. a lot of people work in jobs they don't like, and without tooling up extensively for a different career, finding one they like isn't that easy, even if the economy makes job hopping easier these days..
