New Warning. C# and .NET are actually quite nice.
"It's a shame it all runs best on Windows, really."

(Not my opinion, but that of drinking buddy whose weapon of choice is J2EE but who has been looking at .NET)

New Actually, I think dot net is so '90s
it's the framework to end all frameworks, the end result of MS responding to earlier frameworks (VCL, Java, etc) with a super complex and comprehensive framework (admittedly much better than earlier MS crap such as MFC)....coupled with a '90s style inflexible language (C#, C# with BASIC keywords).

It'd be great if everyone still thought C++ was the cat's meow.

But, the programming world has changed with the success of dynamic languages, and programming in .Net is like programming in a straightjacket compared to better options such as Python. I'm hoping IronPython will progress rapidly.
