Re: Why .Net is on its last legs

Great thread. I've been programming since the 60's (really!) and I am totally appalled by how difficult it is to program in .Net I decided to learn it a few years ago because it seemed all I heard was .Net is the future. I found it the most time-consuming, difficult to debug, language/environ
