Web dev wins by a nose, simply by managing to stay slightly less insane than Win32/WinForms. Frankly though, i much prefer dev that doesn't consist primarily of working around bad design decisions in the platform.

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

Meh, at least there is no CSS in desktop development.

That's plain cruel and heartless. When I enter into a relationship with a language or technology, it's for the long haul. We communicate, share, and grow together, in the hope of achieving a perfect union. Oh wait, I'm talking about set theory. :laugh: /ravi

I felt the same way until I started working in Java. Some years later I moved to a .NET shop, and fell in love with C# (and the .NET framwork). Who knows what's next? :-D /ravi

Uggghhh! Java is safer, but at the expense of expressiveness and raw power. I thought programming languages were for us people to tell computers what to do, not for computers to tell us what not to do.

I would agree, but would ask them to provide me with every single item sold on eBay, as I need this for testing.

OK Your contract terms specify the application must be finished within a single billable hour.

:laugh: I was thinking of more like 100K billable hours.

I really don't feel like moving to Eastern Europe just to take a contract. :-D So I guess I am stuck in the 1st world. :)

It all boils down to client requirement rather than personal preference.

Not at all these days. For instance, Moscow and St Petersburg are both more expensive places to live than New York City. Budapest, Prague, Belgrade and other big Eastern Europe's cities are not much behind.

I can only speak for myself, but desktop seems far less stressful and more flexible than web. The last web project we did (a K2.NET workflow solution) was a pain on so many levels - none of which would have been an issue on the desktop. Then again, my idea of fun is writing plug-in code for Visual Studio in C++/WTL, so what would I know...? :rolleyes:

If that's not scaled to represent living expenses as a fraction of wages I'd like to see a cite, since it goes against what I've heard from, someone who was until a year or so ago, a Muscovite.

OK. But you have to buy them yourself and bill them against the total balance of the contract. We are not responsible for cost overruns on your end.
