Dealt with them, am one, yeah. We're all pains in the ass, but occasionally (and happily) some of us end up creating legible, maintainable code that can be used without too much screaming and cussing.
If you're looking for a more structured way of developing your code, the above comments are ones I'd never thought of before, and I have to say they're pretty good ideas. I'm more of a free-form chaotic coder, and most of the people I've worked with like it as fragmented and crazy as possible; probaby why we work together.
But yeah, prima donna programmers in general are a serious pain in the ass. On the other hand, occasionally they have the skills to back up the attitude, and with those you can usually find a happy middle ground; if they're smart enough to be useful, they might just be smart enough to be rational as well.
