Because they are built on Linux? Fair few good companies built on .net Stackoverflow for one. I agree they tend to be hidden behind the scenes companies. But those companies can be nice companies to work for(Sane work hours, good benefits, not expected to work overtime etc).

> Stackoverflow for one. That's no longer completely true. While the core continues to run on Windows, SQL Server and .NET, pretty much everything around it is Linux-based and without that additions, the system would be unable to maintain its current performance.

  As far i'm aware that's the caching software. .NET is performant(And probably faster) than the common open source platforms like python, php, ruby. Any platform would have problems without caching.

  I remember they had to patch the OpenSSL bug so they are not using IIS for the SSL endpoint.
