I think the main problem is that a lot of basic algorithms and ideas are being patented, and it's leading to a lot of people not being able to write software. I wouldn't mind if it was complex algorithms designed for a specific purpose (some things in Photoshop spring to mind).

companies are starting to be too dang greedy and narrowsighted these days :x
