I'm 27 and have been programming in C# for 3 years using Visual Studio Express or Professional (started with Express and got a license for Pro 2 years ago).

You can use Microsoft developer tools to create platform agnostic code. So I fail to see how using a great product would make somebody "demented" or "brain-dead". If this attitude is common in other parts of the world, than it is no wonder that it is hard to find people who know MS languages well.

"You can use Microsoft developer tools to create platform agnostic code" at least someone gets it. I'm (just) 30 and I yet have to find an IDE that pleases me as much, and handles most of the languages I use (to make money, amongst other reasons) daily. I know it's cool and such to say MS sucks and does everything bad, but calling users demented? Ha, I almost stopped reading there.
