I run projects on .NET on Windows and in WO. .NET is simply horrible even on Windows.

There is no OR layer...although we are promised on in Whidbey...designed by former NeXT guys. The problem is that this is going to embedded in the next release of SQL Server so no portability...try using that on Linux or MacOS.

C# is a nice language....pretty much a direct copy of Java.

IIS deployment is nasty and still full of holes.

Visual Studio .NET is a great IDE and on a par probably with Eclipse...superior to the WO Tools. It is a good job given the amount of code requred vs a WO App.

Which persistence technique do you use today? Microsoft's recommend SPs + data layer that you write each time?

Deployment. For a 'GUI based' environment there are simply too many cludges and text files to edit. We encounter so many bugs with .NET Javascript generation requiring special on-request only hot fixes.

Its not a viable platform in my opinion. We are seriously thinking about dumping .NET all together.

I have been looking options for WO for some time and I have found many options that I'm evaluating (I'm already certified J2EE developer), but one that is at the top of my list is .Net on Linux/Unix/MacOS/etc.


With .Net on Linux/Unix/MacOS/etc you get many advantages, you have access to the corporate accounts and the biggest market segment, you are free to deploy in any platform, you have access to many components, access to many resources, books, etc., etc., etc.

If you are interested on this kind of technology you can find in at:
