    The .NET Framework was good. Really good. Until it wasn't. Why did I leave .NET? In short, it constrained our ability to choose (which is a huge deal for me) and turned our focus inward toward the perceived safety of the nest instead of the helping us experiencing all of the possibilities out there in the big, wide world.

      "Not having a debugger is actually a liberating experience because it forces you to code in a different way." Yes. Having spent so many years with (at most) the command-line OpenVMS debugger, I agree that too much reliance on a debugger can be a bad habit. Learn to do more with less. "VS also has this really nasty habit of creating "csproj" and "sln" files. I hate those things." Testify, brother! We didn't have those things in Turbo Pascal, we don't need them now. "I could have probably coded C# using a simple text editor" Which is what I do unless I need a designer. "It's so incredibly easy to interact with SQL Server from within Visual Studio" I never do that.

      You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

              He doesn't mention what type of programming he is doing. .NET may not be the best framework. It depends on what you're doing

                I have an instance of both VS2012 and 2013 open and together they're ALMOST taking up as much memory as Firefox. The response and startup times since VS2010 has vastly improved as well. But hey, I'm one of those guys who use an IDE because developing is more than just typing out text in a no-frills editor. After all, the 'E' stands for 'Environment' not 'Editor'

                  The title is just click-bait. Trolls be trolling.

                      That's a whole different argument here! Though he does mention Linux on his blog, me think...
