These "WordPress admins" are just giving the rest of us a bad name.
Last time I tried to convince a client that a WordPress would suit their needs just fine with a custom theme that I'll write, they first disagreed and wanted some framework then tried to cut the budget in half (just for mentioning WordPress)

most _capable_ people selling WordPress nowadays don't sell WordPress itself, but a solution, purely because of the bad rap and the "WordPress developers" out there. I personally don't feel comfortable being "ashamed" of what I work because of the fact that 9 out of 10 people out on the street sell WordPress websites and claim that they are developers.
And I don't see a reason to switch to a more elitist community just to avoid the ones who've intruded or don't know better due to the lack of educational resources and standards.
If you use Wordpress to find clients, it's tough to find good paying work. But if you find clients elsewhere, then you can use Wordpress as a part of your overall solution and save time.
