In my limited expedience, ATC's are not young or inexperienced. They are Officers with Long Range Radar Control and/or ATC experience. Going from VFR into or operating totally in IFR areas sometimes creates problems. Pilots may rely too much on the instruments and not look out the "window". Not saying the ATC should not have recognized the proximity of the aircraft.
