I'm one of the latter types, and I agree that this specialty is not
generally regarded as highly in the job market as "Visual C++ GUI
application programmer". However, we're just as necessary as they are,
and considerably harder to find, so I have faith that the market will
adjust one of these days.
As for myself, I'm now a full-time writer teaching C++ on the side,
so it doesn't affect me directly at the moment, but who knows when
I'll need a "real job" again?
