| .Net developer here. I think VS is really awesome and a + for .Net . The support for Mono and cross platform has grown and Microsoft has shown interests by partnering with the team behind Mono.. IIS is getting decaprecated (= The OWIN project). LocalDB doesn't require you to create a new database and you really have a json file as database . You can just use it, it's called Biggy and it's on GitHub ( https://github.com/robconery/biggy ). (a file based document store). - i used it and it works. - It's actually more then a file based db, but check it out if you're interested. Git support is build-in (already a long time) and TFS seemed to work for me ( i use Visual Studio Online). Using Windows, well. I think this is "currently" a no-brainer. But Mono will be more important, so it should become usable on Linux also... (normally). Btw. I use Linux tools on my Windows machine all the time, stuff like Cygwin,ImageMagick, Go, Ruby are installed by default on my development pc.... It doesn't mean i can't work in Linux (i also have a Pi which requires me to work in it). Currently, i just prefer Windows |
Thats not even remotely true. How does Helios works then, which is also owin component?
