I think managers are toxic in an engineering organization, and a disincentive toward expertise; Rational intelligent engineers would be foolish not to abandon their expertise for a more rewarding (financially, politically, effort-wise) management track. That said, I consider it even more foolish to have nothing in their place. Managers serve a variety of roles that will be filled, implicitly or explicitly in any tribe/organization. Further, they resolve the matter of hierarchy and eliminate political position jockeying (while exacerbating other forms of politics).

in an engineering organization the managers are the ones who stamp and sign the plans and specifications thus taking on the professional responsibility and liability concurrent to their level of oversight

they are an absolutely integral element to the engineering process

java in a browser is bad. Java in a gui is bad. google, a company dumb enough to make a whole mobile OS based on Java, is not killing it in the browser because they care about a good user experience. they're doing it because they can't crawl Java content.

it's not even just java, it's all NPAPI plugins, which includes things like silverlight, unity web player, adobe reader, adobe flash player, shockwave player, and every other plugin ported from netscape. you idiots would probably be complaining if microsoft got rid of activex, even if they told you they were doing it a year in advance

I don't see anyone here complaining. I'm pretty sure everyone is for getting rid of lovely plugins.
