There'll always be a place for quality. Shitty software factories and consulting companies from India can't possibly take out all programming jobs in Europe because somebody, somewhere, realizes that what they do in India is bullshit and wants a quality job.
India development has a few problems: first of all, the software factory model is fundamentally flawed and is only suitable for sluggish, grossly overpaid projects for banks. Then you have large consulting companies, flawed as well; they'll rip you off and have some random noob straight off uni build your most critical stuff, and some noob who hasn't even touched a computer one hour before getting hired will be writting the bulk of your stuff. And finally the communication and distance problems; Indians can't talk shit with you, end users or end customers.
And the best of all is that some of the retarded managers ruling this "industry" (just calling it "industry" is cancerous) are starting to realize that India projects tend to fail, and if they don't fail, they tend to go obscenely over the budget, be horribly late, and result in horrendous quality software that even retards such as managers can see.
