running 30+ windows servers

Microsoft has become much better, but still not sexy. Don't ever think they can fix everything for you, find out what they do well and what suxx and then do workarounds. Still too much microsoft and too little webstandards.

They upgrade more and fix more bugs, but this also break more stuff. Asp.MVC upgrades can be a pain..

.Net Core, C#, Linq, etc.. all very cool. Can make some stuff that performs very well, but can be very tricky to scale.

Asp.net i still too slow and too heavy.. taking >1min to start a asp.mvc site? It feels like some old grandpa compared to Node.js, Go and even PHP.

Powershell is still behind

Window Server administration can be very slow, .. how can it take 30seconds to draw an Event log ? Really miss ssh or even telnet.

Windows Services and schedules can be a pain. How can "access denied let the service run forever without notification??"

The license system is crap, they make their costumers feel stupid when they cant figure out how to renew they Action Pack's, etc..

And their crappy sales ppl, trying to push Sharepoint because they hear the word software and web.

So I really regret working with microsoft, althought I like some of .Net and C#, but what does one do for a good project and a salery.

Next project will not be .net for sure..




>> "Node.js"

If you need an HTTP Reactor pattern implementation in .NET, there is one coming soon. Patterns are not hot or old, they are just different for different needs.
