It very much depends on the environment. In my environment, things are fairly simple, and the only programming that I need to do is some simple scripting. I am not writing things that people use on a day-to-day basis, and for the most part it is all for my own use. Almost all of what I "write" is found on the web and adapted to my needs, but not written wholesale from scratch.
Often, I can find free or nearly free small programs that will do what I need.
Do I wish I had an aptitude for programming? Hell yes. Am I going to cry over spilled milk? Hell no.
