>From a tooling and infrastructure technology perspective, .NET is smaller. But in terms of small business and contractor usage, I wouldn't think so. There are tons of jobs and many sectors of software development that are absolutely standardized on Microsoft. There is absolutely more choice, variety, and more cutting edge tools in the JVM ecosystem. And that's precisely what draws a lot of technology tinkerer types and what a lot of manager types don't like. What's nice about less choice from a management perspective is that development personnel are more generic and easily interchangeable. There is less debate and time wasted on underlying technology and infrastructure, Microsoft best practices is the holy bible. There aren't a zillion different web frameworks, there are two (there used to be one but now they have traditional ASP and the MVC option). There aren't several major IDEs and several development OSs, there is just Visual Studio and Windows (and an extremely small fringe using other choices). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
