I've been using .Net for almost 20 years, professionally for half that time, and I feel like excitement and momentum in the community has only been increasing.

Same story here. I decided lately to focus more on .net and, let's say, abandon Java.

It's portable, fast, productive and well supported by a massive corp. It's not just a "language du jour", it's here to stay.

There are plenty of job in dotnet where I live: old, new, startups...

I am the momentum!
