Another point:
Many programmers, especially those who've learned in a more computer science background as opposed to electrical engineeeing one don't really understand computers intimately enough to fully appreciate what happens inside a PLC (or PC for that matter). A lot of things are handled behind the scenes by a compiler even before the CPU ever touches the code so to speak.
Good machine programming involves a very intimate and elemental relationship with with the machine and the process.
