Just out of curiosity, what do you find inconsistent? I know I've found some inconsistencies in how things are implemented, but that's life when you have 100s of developers working on one project. I think it is fairly clean given how many people were/are working on it. > It's to much marketing driven. It's a shame, because there are sure > good devs with great ideas at MS. I'll admit the MS Marketing machine went crazy and started calling everything .NET (Exchange, BizTalk, etc.). They really through out a lot of FUD that muddy the picture of the CLR and what it can be. > Ok I see your point.

The language that is finally used is called MSIL (Microsoft Intermediary Language) which is very similiar to Java Byte Code. I think that people keep focusing on the language and not the framework as you suggest. The framework is awesome! I finally get the good stuff that you Java guys have had for awhile :-) > So far +1 to see the implementation here. Maybe objective possibilty to > rate the power of .NET. Awesome! I'm hoping if this goes well that I can start porting the Avalon Framework, etc. Ya'll have got a lot of great code and design in this project. I want to open it up to the other side. I think that .NET developers would love to use Avalon Framework and Excalibur. Right now no one (that I know of) is thinking about how to extend the framework and make it (the framework) easier to work with. Its all about "Fire up my wizard and get some code!".
