I've been developing on the .net stack since its inception and it has worked well for me. I scaled and e-commerce company to $24 million in revenue using MS commerce server and .net. I use azure to host (while I have credit via bizspark). There are legions of programmers who work on this stack day in day out. Stackoverflow is a classic example of a high traffic site built using the MS stack. Why don't I ever hear people say is Ruby on Rails on AWS a bad idea?

thanks! Stackoverflow and POF are great examples of building scalable app on MS stack. That was enough reason for me to go with .NET. I asked this question because I hear everyone talking about Ruby/node.js/scala/java etc. I am happy that .net is embracing open source now.
