I always find this article very funny. I do not really use .Net myself, only when I need to make a contribution to a project that is already written in it, but the few developers I know personally that use it are using it for incredibly nonstandard work.

I know of an entire framework written in .Net that exists to hook into a proprietary, developer-hostile program and inject a full plugin ecosystem that exposes the protected memory and processing hooks of the program as a user-friendly API.

Wow, had not read that before. It seems really offensive to ordinary programmers that just want to get stuff done. I also find my peak productivity when using the .NET ecosystem, which after all is good for business.

That article was a bad HN comment in blog form. The author even put a disclaimer apology on it.
