too much to list here. but to skim the surface:
the ide is too drag n' drop for my liking. i'm a coding purist and like to do things from scratch. ms, however, feels that web development should be approached from a rad standpoint. it worked for vb, so why not web dev, right? wrong!
next, try testing your code. how do you like that 10-20 second lag before you get to see the results of your hard arduous labor in a browser (a button and a text field)? say hello to JIT: (just in time compilation). can you say java? yeah, i knew that you could. let's see, while were talking about java, let's look at the new language syntax... hmmm import system.web namespace? namespaces sure do look alot like JAVA packages. oh and when your apps been compiled, it's turned into MSIL (microsoft intermediate language)... yeah, it's a lot like java bytecode...
ms claims they embraced and extended the java technology. i guess that would hold up well enough for them in court, so i can't really argue...
that's web, now let's talk windows apps. you know how if you want to run a java app, you have to have the JRE installed? well, it's the same with .net apps too now. you have to have the .net framework installed on your clients machine if they want to use it... this makes sense across platforms, but on an ms os, this seems a bit silly.
the worth of .net is certainly subjective... when a prospective employer is paying top dollar for .net developers it's easy to justify it's use. but i will need a lot more than a fat paycheck to use that steaming heap of sh*t.
but hey, that's just betters your odds in the job market, right?
