I'm gonna go dig up some WTFs about the commodore 64. :-)
Seriously, it's cr*p, tho outdated cr*p.
you're right it is more then two years old, but at the time of publication (2004) the .Net framework had been in the wild for 2 years (more if you count the beta days). Which is more then enough time to get proper information on the subject. You don't have to like .Net, I was looking for valid reasons not to like it, but his reasons for not liking it didn't seem to be based on the same subject. To use your C64 analogy, imagine if two years or 20 years after the C64 came out someone posted a rant on the internet calling the C64 a piece of crap because it's quantum computing core required the key from a 84 Porsche to find out how many free quarks there are in a potato chip.
