Your point that art does nothing for the gross national product isn't true: many musea life off of the input by visitors, and whom hasn't heard of Vermeer and others (they inspired a whole generation whom did make money off the paintings and had a "good "life.) If all you care about is money; then maybe you should't be in programming, instead management (at SCO or M$) should fit you better
Besides: not every painting is art(in fact most paintings are posters); and there are definately pieces of software that are art to me, but most are like posters; you throw them away when you're tired of looking at them.
