I think .NET is one of the few projects Microsoft maintains that I admire that feel like they care a lot about quality, you can tell the people working on it are focused on performance and making sure its really well rounded. I would argue that .NET is Microsoft's greatest achievement / work of all time.
- dijit 11mo agoAgreed. SQL Server is of equally high quality. We just have postgres in the open source world (which is truly exceptional) so our expectations are higher. I am the first to hate on Microsoft, their OS is a dumpster fire that I feel is forced on me. But sometimes they knock it out of the park.
- giancarlostoro 11mo agoThats a solid callout. Not everyones favorite but honestly I never have insane issues when I work with it, nothing out of the ordinary anyway.
- SoftTalker 11mo ago.NET has viable competitors. Windows, due to its monopoly, dominates the PC world no matter how bad it is.
- malux85 11mo agoBecause of legacy and momentum, not merit.
- SoftTalker 11mo agoYes, due to its monopoly. Edited my comment.
- giancarlostoro 11mo agoYeah but it is arguably not well done as described, it has strengths but they have been on a downward spiral of marketing driven development.
- skeeter2020 11mo agoMS has had very little to do with the execution, but it has their logo on it, so I think you can count most Microsoft hardware (pre-Copilot button) as quality.
