One important factor that gets overlooked sometimes, I think, is that with NHibernate, Orchard gains a lot of credibility with a big segment of developers (namely, the guys who live and breathe OSS / alt.net). If the MS crew put together a platform that cobbles together MS products, it would resonate a lot less with them than a platform that uses the best OS has to offer and the best MS has to offer.
Granted, as a pure engineering decision, that doesn't hold water, but others have answered the engineering angle. :D On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 1:21 PM, Bertrand Le Roy < [email protected]> wrote: > Not at the moment.
