The latter is a good reason not to use it. And yet, I am being

I agree with you. But, what I was talking about was the positive
product integration.
But the tools in .NET are completely integrated, very fast and
relatively mature.
What this tells us is that tools alone are not enough to make a
good product, you need a degree of adequateness, of being "good
enough", in all major areas.
Of course not. But the main reason I can think of why .NET is more
popular than WO is because of those developer tools (And Microsoft
business aggressiveness). Imagine a WO with great developers tools
and documentation (From Apple or whomever).
.NET requires a Windows 2000 server to deploy, WO a Tiger Server.
I can see business there.
WO doesn't require Tiger Server, or even Tiger, to deploy. You can
deploy anywhere, it is just Tiger that is the supported
environment. Other platforms are perfectly good choices for
deployment - even Windows :-).
Yes I know now. But Apple promotes WO, like if it needs a Tiger
server to deploy. Even if you do not use the server, the license is
only included with the server package. Or, at least, that's what I
understand from the promotional page of WO 5.3. I was really confused
about it.
