Good points.

However, from my own experience, the world is changing for the better. Not as fast as we'd like and not at the same speed in all field, but thankfully it is.

For example I was at the American Meteorological Society and was surprised how well attended and good feedback this talk received.

I myself started organizing the SEA Scientific Software Engineering conference last year, which is also very well received by the community. See the talks we had last year and consider going or submitting a talk for this year

Pardon the shameless promoting of "my event", but my point is "yes, it's difficult, yes it requires time, yes there is resistance, but something is happening and changing that". Wasn't the same for basically any human achievement? :-)
