It has numerous major disadvantages (expensive, proprietary, closed-source, lock-in) and virtually no advantages over a number of other open source technologies.
I suspect there are very few people who have extensive experience on both sides of the fence and would choose the Microsoft route for their own startup/company. It tends to be almost exclusively people who lack experience with open source alternatives.
- jamespcole2 13y ago100% agree, I have extensive experience with both and I would never recommend .net to anyone. Unfortunately many of the larger companies I do work for will only use it. In general the SOE of an organisation is usually defined by non-tech people and "no one ever got fired for recommending microsoft". So I find that these larger organisations are hobbled by using sub-par tools, hopefully this will change in the next 10 years or so though.
