And are these programmers talking, or end-users. Never mind, I already know.
I'm a programmer by trade and while I'll admit there are programs that should never be released, by and large the world runs on the efforts of us poor maligned folks.
Just remember that at times programming can be like trying to push water up hill with a straw. It isn't easy - if it were anyone could do it...
As-far-as auditing and 'giving a program what it needs to run' is concerned this isn't (necessarily) the programmers' fault. It is virtually impossible to anticipate system and software configuration out there in the real world. All we can do is try to code in such a way as to allow things to operate in a 'typical' (whatever that is) environment. Want specific to your environment 'out of the box' perfection? Specify such and be willing to pay for it.
OK, climbing off my soap box now.
