What's wrong with Microsoft's dev strategy? .NET continues to be the most powerful and productive platform that I've used.

.NET Core was a great move and it's all coming together nicely now, and even creating innovations like Blazor.

I think the poster was saying that .NET has a dev strategy, but other projects don't.

> Microsoft can’t even put coherent dev strategy outside of .NET on Azure

You don't need Azure to use any part of .NET - and VSCode, Github, etc., stretch beyond both.

That’s not what was said either.

They said that .NET and Azure, two separate things, are very well managed. OP did not imply any correlation between the two of them.

My guess is that he is referring to Microsoft Azure's attempt to migrate to Javascript support. You can see some of the support, but it is still currently lacking and difficult to use. I hope that they can manage though, Azure has tremendous features, just challenging to utilize properly.

The flip flopping between Metro / Windows 8 / UWP permanently turned me from doing anything non-win32-API on Windows again.

That debacle was an entirely different chain of management that is no longer at the company ;)
