It's interesting to see how many of the critiques the author cited in 2013 no longer apply to the .NET ecosystem. To name a few:
* Git is now a first class VCS for use with Visual Studio
* .NET development no longer tied to Visual Studio thanks to things like VS Code or OmniSharp with Submline
* .NET development no longer tied to Windows, dev with a Mac or Linux using .NET core
- asdf1234 11y ago> .NET development no longer tied to Windows, dev with a Mac or Linux using .NET core .NET core hasn't seen an official release and there's still quite a bit of work to be done. Even with that, the overwhelming majority of .NET libraries don't work on OS X or Linux and it's going to take a significant amount of time to port just a small fraction of them. .NET core might turn out to be a great cross platform solution but it's nowhere near that right now.
- jonathanoliver 11y agoOP here. My concerns have been or are being addressed. We're still a ways off from having things solid on Windows and Linux. All things considered, I'm happy with Satya's leadership of Microsoft over the last few years.
- wdmeldon 11y agoI only wonder how far these new attitudes will seep into the general .NET developer culture.
- s73v3r 11y ago.NET is still tied to Visual Studio. Neither of the other two alternatives, nor the Mac or Linux ports, are ready for prime time yet.
