- bauerd 8y agoI don't get the impression that C# is bashed on HN, rather the opposite
- vezycash 8y agoThey said "MS bashing" not C# bashing. In other words, using anything MS was once considered uncool. There's still a number of people who are waiting to catch MS pull a Embrace... stunt. I've not seen any thread on HN bashing MS without reason. However, the only guys who claim to use C# either work with big companies or freelance.
- NicoJuicy 8y agoMS basshing was only based on the M$ quote. Because it was closed source. Some context has shifted, the Microsoft takes over Github part has shown sentiment shift also ( not everyone of course)
- tracker1 8y agoI'm not specifically anti-MS myself and am generally supportive of their OSS moves. I think it aligns well with their SaaS initiatives (Office365, Azure, etc) and think that it will continue. Beyond that, MS does deserve the skepticism it gets, and I'm not a fan of the "M$" references or similar. Leadership at MS has changed and it does show. I do wish they'd stop doing sleazy things with windows though. I've been using more Linux and Mac as a result.
