"[EDIT maybe Apple?]"

The true genius of Jobs is his ability to understand, lead, motivate and inspire hacker-types (while not really being one himself). Woz, of course, being the first example.

My read on Apple is that they're not a software company - they're a hardware design company that feels passionately about the software not sucking and detracting from the design of the hardware.

Last time I knew, Apple's turnover on engineers was fairly high, higher than I expected for a company of that stature.
