Thank you for your feedback. When I said "predominantly an enterprise-focused technology", I meant overall popularity for building in-house enterprise products versus developing startup products. Anyway, should I decide to use .NET, I would most likely use a high-quality boilerplate solution as a foundation. Specifically, I'm a big fan of (and have already played with) ASP.NET Boilerplate and its next-gen version called ABP Framework. They also have relevant attractive commercial versions.
