Wow - sounds like you found some really bad devlepers - my deepest sympathies.

I've never had to do any of the above things you are talking about. In general, I stay away from third party controls as I lose too much control and I can write anything and keep libraries that I can draw upon. Load Balancing is supported in .NET - you just have to know how to use it.

It obviously goes without saying that developers need to get proper training instead of just jumping into something that could most probably lead to them being in over their heads.

Also, about your thoughts about the world changing around you and having to make changes to the project - that goes without saying. We live in an ever changing world and if a client wants to remain competitive, he has to use the latest technologies. That is the case for anyone whether or not they use Microsoft products or Linux products.

Bad programmers abound - just because there seems to be more in the Microsoft camp is just a testament to how easy their tools are to use.

Don't you guys get it? A small group of people (Linus Torvalds and a few henchmen) made it rich off the backs of the common developer. How can you stand this? It isn't right in my eyes. Everyone should profit from a shared system and not just a few. Someday I am going to run my own company and I will richly reward all those that help me get to the top.
