Clay, You are making far too broad generalizations, thereby
About a year ago I had a chance to work for a company that was a small Microsoft shop and as one of my jobs was to bootstrap a web application for managing and administering their SaaS backend, I had a fairly good look at the state of various frameworks, libraries, developer tooling and platforms .NET had to offer and I must admit, the offering was much more diverse and interesting than I had suspected. There is a fairly rich assortment various OpenSource projects for most anything I've seen in Java. sometimes just a counterpart of a Java project, like Nant <http://nant.sourceforge.net/>, NUnit<http://www.nunit.org/>, NHibernate <https://community.jboss.org/wiki/NHibernateForNET?_sscc=t>, NodaTime <http://code.google.com/p/noda-time/>, etc; but more often, they have stuff that stands out tall and bright on their own two feet, like Moq<http://code.google.com/p/moq/>, Ninject <http://www.ninject.org/>, to name a few. And Microsoft. They are still the behemoth they were 10 years ago, but they have opened up considerably since. ASP.NET MVC, NuGet, WPF, RX, NMake and countless other projects that are pretty good in both innovation and openness. I am not saying, that it's just as vibrant in the MS land, but you should not simply play them down because they've chosen a different VM and technology stack... kolmapäev, 16. mai 2012 23:53.32 UTC+3 kirjutas clay: > > The veteran intellectual developer types want maximum choice and > flexibility.
