It's funny that so many of the .Net proponents here haven't used any
of the alternatives. It's quite shaky to charge those who don't
like .Net with being brainwashed and closed-minded when that exactly
describes most of the .Net proponents.
FWIW, I've looked at .Net when it was first introduced, and then
again when the 2.0 version came out. If I was forced to develop in
it, I wouldn't hate it, but since I'm aware of much better ways of
doing the same things, I wouldn't feel it was the best use of my time.
I have gone to several conferences with a lot of .Net users, though,
and I always ask a) what platforms do you regularly work with and b)
what other development options did you consider before .Net? Care to
hazard a guess as to what the answers almost always are?
