I've heard it very often that people don't like the word "control" being applied to a group of programmers. They find it abusive, offensive, and de-motivating. I absolutely disagree with this. Control is abusive only if it's implicit, hidden, and not obvious. However, if the rules of work are well defined, accepted by everybody and applied strictly, just like those laws we all know in civil life, control is not abusive at all.
