I find .net to be slow and cludgy in virtually all situations - even with a fast processor and 512MB RAM. I've been completely unimpressed with it since it was released. The classes never seem to expose what I need, and you don't get source code to feel safe changing them. The WebForms are primitive and ugly to work with, there isn't enough cross-platform support to justify the run machine, and the only thing advantage seems to be that it doesn't use COM to bind everthing. Web services are cool, but there are other tool to create those, and the .NET version needs tailoring to work with many web service clients.
I understand the advantages of turning the WinAPI into a class structure (the old WInAPI was horrible to use) but there are far better wrappers already out there. It just seems another piece of M$ bloatware that really doesn't deliver enough new quality functionality to justify the performance overheads. If you want a truly fast, clean, fully OO environment that delivers the WinAPI in a sensible structure, provides all of the functionality you could require, doesn't rely on installing huge run machines and a stack of libraries, offers source code to the class libraries and is designed for professionals, use Delphi. Yes it has a learning curve, but it is still vastly better than any other Windows tool around. My 2 cents.
