ok smart alec, how do you get proof? should I hire a P.I?

I've read multiple articles here describing single stack solutions as being a pipe dream. In the rare cases where they were successful, you need majority company buy-in. This is clearly not the case here, where this ramming-in of .NET and VS and Windows servers are causing massive fractures with our senior devs. Many are now resorting to doing P.O.Cs to show we are just fine without the Microsoft products.

Additionally, this actually harms our recruiting efforts, because the majority of senior C# devs are accounted for in this town, as they work for the larger 3 corps in the city's downtown district.

Then why are shady tactics being resorted to?

You completely missed the point of the post. In no way shape or form do our dev's, including I feel like we couldn't use C# if we had to. The problem is the having to part seems abnormal, and against our company culture, and counterintuitive. We deal with change on a constant basis, so no, I am fine with change. I want the change to be rational, however.
