It took me about a week to get up to speed on .Net and was able to create a fairly decent functional application with it. For those of you who are saying "Yeah, but you can do the exact same thing in Java! And it's portable." To that, I would say the same thing I said almost a decade ago; If it’s easier to use, people will switch over to the path of least resistance. Everything you can do in Java and .Net can be done in assembly, but why don’t we? Why should I spend 6 months on a Java project when I can cut that down to 4 in .Net?
Or 2-3 months in Smalltalk. Come on in, the water is warm :)
