I think he's leaning towards "good .NET devs leave the .NET world," but yea it is ranty. The same could be said for Java (there are a lot of better technologies based on the JVM, such as Scala. But the learning curve can be challenging).

I feel like a more though out post could have arrived in this camp. This isn't a .NET isolation issue (although you could argue the Windows eco-system is shit to develop on -- but that's another rant), but more of an issue with companies that can't quickly move to new technologies and software stacks due to a huge burden of technical debt, insufficient integration tests and, the most challenging, a team of mostly mediocre developers who are afraid to, or refuse to, try new things.
