So what is administered by adults? JVM/Java? Well that has it's own share of drama (and businesses frowning upon the leadership of Oracle). For .NET/C# I cannot remember any drama, but maybe that's just MSFT controlling the PR of their project?

The more something is governed in the open, the more we can see problems. To me that's a good thing. Compare Germany's govt to China's: Germany is certainly not as efficient, but it's transparency allows many to see it's inner workings are comment about it. I hope in the long run this transparency is what businesses prefer in an open source project.

On the .Net side, MS has made some toxic steps with community projects, and the even removed features from FLOSS .Net to avoid competing features from Visual Studio (not Code). Not saying it isn't mostly positive, only that there have been missteps.
