> "There are a lot of rabid anti-Microsoft developers on HN"

Intellectual laziness test: Have you spent some time considering that maybe there is a good reason for that? Or are you just simplistically dismissing it out of hand as uninformed hatred?

[craigvn]

Have considered, but no one has come up with a legitimate reason. Name some "legitimate" reasons?

I think most of the anti-microsoft disposition is legacy and deservingly so, but IMO no longer applicable. At least not against the technology anyway, since the mvc framework is pretty good. Licensing costs are a different matter all together.

I find in most cases it is people comparing Ruby on Rails or other modern development tools to Classic ASP or even Visual Basic 6 which is decades old.
