Lemme think about that one.
So which stack of libraries constitute your language? As highly as I value many of Microsoft's products, there's this nagging little voice that always calls out and tells me to remain diversified. It's really clear to me that having ideas from many perspectives has greatly enhanced my toolbox, and the open source world brings very different perspectives than MS does. So I tend to start looking at open source libraries as the basis of my "language", while still spending tons of cash on products from Microsoft and others. I do agree with your point in concept though. the libraries offer a more targeted approach to learning.
