I think the MS stack has a bad reputation because a lot of developpers come from an academic (undergrad) background, and not that many institutions use MS products (licence fees). When I got out of school I was young and arrogant (still kinda am), and since I only did Java at school in terms of OO languages, I immediately dismissed C# as not good enough. Then theres the whole anti-MS movement out there that will simply bash MS stack because is it by MS.
