.NET runtime and framework with Dev Studio are very very good. If you haven't tried for a long time, you owe it to yourself to take a look. To me my stereotype - if you're in a corporate world and want developers that like users and spend a lot of time on complicated business problems - you're likely to see lots of "windows developers". If you want some to write apps with lots of technical complexity and simple business logic, you're better off with "unix developers".
