Abstraction is compression, and abstraction is definitely a core component of intelligence.

Kiln Harmony won't save as much money and angst as a DVCS that automatically converts tabs to spaces and back, based on personal settings, or one that changes bracket code formatting, but it's a start.

This makes it easier to bring on new team members who are more familiar with or comfortable with one DVCS.
And the (admittedly slight) gains in productivity for some of your developers is a nice bonus.

I would agree. Though C is far from useless, it really isn't used here at the Creek. Which was a double bonus for me, since after 6 years immersed in C and C++ I could find a job that let me do something new but that I felt very comfortable interviewing for. That said, I really don't believe you need lots of C experience to do well in our interviews.
