Anti-MS sentiment is related to its business practices and perhaps dev community itself, not tooling.
I've never seen a person who actually is familiar with Typescript say anything negative about it, and it has huge uptake in the open source community.
- olavgg 9y agoOh Microsoft has also been involved with tooling, you know how they sold that SOAP crap. They made it complex by purpose, so you had to buy tools to work with SOAP. Ref Book: The New Kingmakers "It’s hard to feel too sorry for SOAP’s creators, however — particularly if what one Microsoft developer told Tim O’Reilly is true: “It was actually a Microsoft objective to make [SOAP] sufficiently complex that only the tools would read and write this stuff,” he explained, “and not humans.”"
- brandall10 9y agoHa... there are def many things they've been involved in that were questionable from that perspective, but I'd still put that under the domain of business practices. I guess my take is overall they earned high marks from the dev community despite whatever misses they may have had over the years.
