Has c# and dot net really grown ? If it has why is it when i need to solve a particular problem, there are always countless more options for the java developer when compared against the count for the dot net developer. Why are the c# devs which are supposedly more efficient, powerful always pretty much just porting some java library rather than inventing their own (think Hibernate, Spring)? I personally think it goes w/out saying all these extra goodies in c# dont really matter in the grand scheme of things. What is really important is the rest of the ecosystem which we take for granted and forget their real value. WIthout all those open source libraries (thanks the those who gave their work) we would stuck w/ something a lot less, trying to reinvent a poor copy of what those lucky java guys have available as a download from apache, sourceforge, googlecode and more.
