Paul Graham has made the exact same point in some detail regarding his 
tool of choice: LISP. He regards it as the secret weapon that allowed 
his company to be successful against larger competitors.

That said, I don't think any of us are currently at risk of the market 
being flooded with Revolution developers. When Revolution reaches the 
market penetration of, say, Apple, then there may be cause for concern.
