i think the "server down" message on your website right now probably speaks as loudly to the topic at hand as any comment here.
More importantly I feel like this story has been told already a hundred times.
Im more compelled by the reasons people either stick with or move to ASP.NET. I would agree that for a great many use cases there are potentially better and less costly tools than this stack, and as a .Net contractor by trade I'm (privately) one of its biggest critics. But big (non-tech) businesses love Microsoft (rightly or wrongly), and as a result, in my local market i can provide for my family a lot better by staying put.
I appreciate the benefits of being at the cutting edge, but I feel there are hidden costs for some that aren't obvious.
