Well I'm sure it wouldn't be Dabo. Probably ruby or python; however that doesn't negate the fact that making absurd statements with nothing to back them up is ridiculous. I took a "look at" dabo when you first brought it out. It was plainly obvious that nothing in a real world business app could be developed with it at the time. Don't know about today, but my guess would be it's still not ready. So does my experience with Dabo and the fact that I attend conferences with java users and other language developers, give me the right to spread bullshit about other products with which I have nothing more than a passing acquaintance.

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?
