The startup I've been helping out is using the Microsoft stack. Why? The exact reason you stated...when you already know everything there is to know about the .NET world, learning something else is time being spent that could've been used to get to market sooner. They've got 30 years combined experience in .NET, why would they use anything else?

They're using NancyFX for their application server. MVC 5 for the consumer-facing website. Mobile app is written in C# using Xamarin.

We're in a smaller city, where everyone seems to use .NET, so finding people OUTSIDE the .NET world is actually a bigger problem where I'm at. Silicon Valley is certainly the exact opposite.

What are you using as the backbone of your Xamarin app? Forms? MvvmCross? ReactiveUI?
