Part of the problem is that the price of the CF server is associated with perceived value. If they give it away for free or a low price, it may be deemed a product of poor quality for the enterprise. If they price it as an enterprise-level product, it's going to scare away people who could potentially use it for smaller-scale projects.
Hmm... sort of a catch twenty-two, huh?
.NET is a fully blown OO language.. its big boy stuff compared to a
kinda (borderline) OO CF. Nothing about .NET should be associated with
idiots. You need to understand OO to effectively use it. You can shoot
yourself in the foot with it, but since the langauge is precompiled,
you're warned syntax issues by an increbibly useful and feature rich
Visual Studio IDE. Not to mention the fact that you can easily pop out
a variety of application types (like windows aps) after you get the
hang of it.
I don't like thinking about the code that I write as "little boy" stuff.
But, I'm interested in what you said about the language being
precompiled. Are .Net applications (web applications) precompiled? I
know that desktop applications, like Paint.Net (which I love, btw), are
compiled programs... but what about web applications written using the
.Net framework -- presumably written in something like C#, right?
