I would argue that the .NET Framework is way better. The way you can have multiple versions installed side by side and have the framework pick the correct one to run is awesome. Granted, you can do something similar with the JVM by mucking around with env vars, but it's not the same thing.

Well, .Net Framework is analogous to Python 2.7. It will never receive anything but compatibility, security, and bug fixes going forward according to MS.

The Future is .Net Core.

Just for the sake of redundancy:

Python 2.7 is not getting any kind of updates including security and bugfixes.
