I'd like to agree that this is a sad and all-too-common problem. I'd also like to say that I've seen companies get this right with good management, good programmers who make good managers, promoting good programmers that don't make good managers so they don't feel the need to become bad managers for the promotion, etc.

Sure, this is still the exception. But there are good books on how to manager software development well and I've seen those techniques work.
