Software stasis aka Java, seems to me more silly than software trends. I can't see any good reason reason to stay with Java when Scala exists. I recently started using C#, VS and TFS after many years with Java and Python, SVN, and IntelliJ/Eclipse. I can see why people prefer C# to Java, C# is better than Java. TFS for version control I have more trouble liking. It seems to be inefficient across slow WAN's and is far below GIT etc. But if everyone is local and your needs are simple it can work. Visual Studio for me (with Resharper installed) is slow, buggy and just dumb. In Eclipse or IntelliJ code updates during debugging worked ok, better if Zero Turnaround was installed, VS not so much. Navigating with IntelliJ was just better, with visual clues about how to get to implementations etc. And Visual Studio hangs for me regularly. But worst of all clicking any of the Test buttons results in 15 seconds of waiting before I see a pass or fail. This just kills me. I see a strong pro Microsoft bias in the .Net development community and I think this is a strong negative. It reminds me of the days before log4j beat Sun's util logging when inferior Sun technology won in the Java community.
