The MS stack doesn't get much love but it does get the job done, probably no worse than anything else. There are languages and platforms better suited to some of what I'm doing though - MongoDB is something I plan to explore a lot more this year for some really heavy duty stuff that would be a pain to do in SQL Server.

Incidentally, I'm working on a project now that is a good fit for MongoDB. I've been testing it with the stock C# driver running on Server 2008 and I like the performance so far. It takes a while to mentally switch paradigms (for me at least) but once you "get it" it's turtles all the way down.

Yeah it's really something else thinking in Mongo's query style. Spent a lot of time in Google and still do when I have to go in to the console heh.
