There may be a population of developers who can jump super-easily between tools/languages. But I think the population of developers who, simply because it's what they have spent the most time with, are more productive in one environment is larger.
The OP is basically saying "I'm super comfortable & productive with the MS stack. It's been fun and good. Now I get to focus on something else. The change will be good for me."
Nothing wrong with that.
- freehunter 15y ago>Nothing wrong with that. I think there is something wrong with it. Specifically the habit of people creating blog posts detailing why they are switching languages. Best case scenario, it sparks a discussion revolving around solutions to their perceived sticking points, and people grow richer from the discussion. Worst case scenario, critics of the language/framework who have never used it use the post as points for argument later on. Most often, though, it's a circlejerk between "I too am leaving this language! Take that, language creator!" and "Well you're just using the wrong language, you should use <insert flavor of the month>!". Then next week we get another post detailing how they're switching from that language, too. Every language has poor features that could fill a million blog posts. It doesn't mean those blog posts are productive.
