people that the capitalized term "Real Programmers" (tm) referred to. <<

Oh, no! You're not going to drag me into that "them vs. us" debate <g>!

piece of F/OSS that I would expect every business application development
environment OR open source project to have, at the very least, regardless of
programming language or other factors. <<

I think that the Unit Test portion of eXtreme Programming has been it's most
popular adopted practice to date. I've worked at several team projects over
the past few years that have attempted to adopt XP. It's a promising set of
techniques.
