Both of you brought up a good point - personality is very important. It seems that the more technical managers can communicate on the same level with developers. But it is true that in time non-technical managers can reach the same level. I've found that technical managers understand developers and they seem to view the project in a more technical mannner than non-technical managers (that I've seen so far, I admit.. I should be more patient and give it some time) - this manager has a more marketing prospective - which is also important down the line. It almost seems that the market aspect of the product overshadows the functional aspect of the product. I guess I just get a tad frustrated, that functionality is lost over a marketing - when in reality the users want the functionality. More than likely the lost functionality will be brought in with the next version.
