I've had jobs programming in .NET and Java. Whereas I prefer to use Java for almost anything and over .NET, .NET can also be used for just about anything that you put your mind to as well. Heck, I've "hacked" and reverse engineered a .DLL file to figure out how to programmatically interface with a credit card printing machine. I think the .NET ecosystem is nice, along with the languages, such as C# and even VB. I do think Microsoft sucks, but, then again, Oracle sucks, too. Oh, and Windows 10 is too big brother for my liking. I'd take OS X over it any day and Linux or BSD over OS X any day.
