> This seems to be a mostly inflammatory This seems to be a constant theme in the .NET community - or more specifically, only seems to exist within Twitter and on the topic of OSS within .NET. At this point from what I've seen this whole thing is basically a cyclic meme. Every couple of months, sometimes seemingly out of nowhere, a spate of angry tweets with even angier replies and retweets will be posted or someone will write a long screed of a blog post. Many of the people involved who criticise Microsoft/.NET Foundation/OSS seem to be suffering from cognitive dissonance. One moment they will say they want OSS and demand that Microsoft contribute more to OSS. The next moment, they complain that Microsoft/.NET Foundation is "damaging" OSS by... contributing to OSS? There doesn't seem to be any sound arguments from these critics and I just don't know what will make them happy. One thing I know for sure though that as a member of the .NET community, it is absolutely exhausting seeing yet more of this entitled drama. I really feel for the .NET team because it seems that some of their users (including some of the so called Microsoft MVP's) fuel this drama.
