As we are now discussing my current employer and boss's decisions third party -- and given the accessibility and permanency of the web -- all I am comfortable saying is that, in the long run, having stronger developers that throughly know their code-base can be a huge win.

Yes, I agree, it can be. It very much depends on the circumstances though, for most companies rolling your own ORM, framework, javascript libraries, database and so on are simply not an option, they'll be hard pressed to keep up with the demands of running their business.

Great stuff can come from that though, for instance, Django.

Maybe that's why a lot of things like 20% projects, in-house text processing capabilities (troff), and PARC projects come from large, established companies.
