Is this a real question or a silly jab at Microsoft? I think you're underestimating the number of existing businesses who have .NET at their core, in which case the question is what justifies moving off of .NET? In my experience .NET can be - while not as hip - a very solid framework.

Yes it was a real question, and I note that you've failed to answer it.

I wanted to know why you'd deploy on that platform initially. Of course if you're already fucking using it, you're probably not going to switch.

Sorry, I thought you were being intentionally daft by stating the only reason to deploy on IIS would be "Kool-Aid" etc. In any case, you quoted my short answer to what I thought was not really a question to begin with ("a very solid framework").

So, in essence, they are compounding one silly mistake (having .NET at their core) with a second one (using IIS)

Yes. This was a somewhat silly jab, but I couldn't resist.
