no, not really, and has about the same level of quality
I think it's a lot like outsourcing. And, expected quality of outsourcing aside, more importantly, I don't see outsourcing as the next step up on the ladder of programming abstraction. It's having someone else do the programming for you (at the same abstraction level).
