• The biggest smile was moving them from VSS to GIT (+GHE) • Replacing Windows servers with Redhat has opened up a wealth of automation opportunities • RoR on the frontend has allowed a much faster development and deployment pipeline (ASP.NET and Java are still used for the high-ceremony stuff) • Our monitoring and alerting is much more straightforward and comprehensive for the OSS components • I am so tired of propping up sickly MS servers, the Redhat servers are rock solid straight out the gate OTOH for large enterprise, Sharepoint and Office integration works very well, that's really the MS sweetspot. I'm also interested in their new ALM offering (TFS), I haven't seen an OSS equivalent as yet. However these are not dev stacks. I'm not saying you can't do great stuff using MS tech - stackoverflow is proof of that. But I have extensive experience in both worlds, and I'll take OSS any day.
