I'm a UNIX guy at heart actually that works in an mixed-environment. Don't completely agree w/comment about mixed-environment being undesirable - most shops are heading down this path anyway of anything goes with the micro-services route. Completely agree with you on tooling, things are getting better in this department namely http://octopus.com/ http://octopus.com/ && http://getseq.net/ http://getseq.net/ which funny enough are also Aussie. My main concern re: .NET are the attitudes of companies and software developers that use the technology generally are anti open-source by default. That does however make it very easy to become noticeable from an employment perspective vs the nodejs/ruby/python/java community.
