Dont cringe I was a MS-developer by fate. Noone guided me to other O/S when I first started. I was going to get into Java. But come on - very new to programming<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.. this thing of unzipping, installing, setting PATHs - got me baffled fast.
So I got stuck with 6 years of learning MS-crap, now including<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.NET C#<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... I had enough
One with the bugs of ActiveX - ie try and automate MSOffice-Chart<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.. you can't easily - it crashes or leaks profusely.
The other - which I am sure is a blow to many developers - is the clunky and crawling Visual Studio<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.NET 2003<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...
We are in the new millenium, and working on an IDE that is so slow like a ZX Spectrum. Eventually it wears you down.
I have to have a look at MONO, given that I do know C# reasonably way. Why waste knowledge? I was going to sweat over a project I am donating to GPL but using Glade/KDE C/C++<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.. come on I am dreaming here, OF COURSE I will run into loads of obstacles.
I am glad, relieved to have escape MS - like defecting from a communist country. Like many of you - I am hoping Linux wins the desktop world - so that magic and wonder (never fear) comes back to computing again.
