I work on a .Net stack now and we are slowly moving over to Mono with Open Source alternatives to the MS specific stuff. Not because of investment fear but because the MS stack is both expensive and sub par. Most of the world has moved past them and there are much better options out there. C# is a wonderful language but the MS tooling needs a lot more work to get on par with what else is available. Especially the build tooling.

In our specific case, thought the expense is nice, it doesn't really matter. Security, on the other hand, is the driving reason we're migrating away from Windows.
