To be honest, calling Java and .NET boring and laughing at these is just a hipster's indulgence.

  Or a smokescreen to keep the market balanced more in their favor...

  But at the same time, if you need to go through tons of red tape (either from bureaucracy/processes or even tools) to change something simple this is a big demotivator (at least for me) Last job involved C# and it was good, and dynamic (pun intended)

  Java was the coolest / most hyped up language back in 2000. Was .NET even around then?

    No, it originated in 2002, but the equivalent was VB, COM, and ASP. That said, I was speaking in the present tense.

      In 2000 proper, the crazy hip thing in the Java world was J2EE. Seriously ... being proficient in Enterprise and Session beans got one a 100K+ job back when that was a big thing.
