There's a difference between a platform (.net) and a programming language.
With visual studio, you develop for websites (MVC), apps (XAML based - WP, WPF, Silverlight, ...) and that makes it great.
I recently got back to android because of Android Builder and i'm still struggling with it (1 day or so). The visual studio experience is way smoother.
I have to admit, my little node.js experience with github and heroku felt awesome.. But it lacks a good IDE-experience and that is where Visual Studio really excels.
But command line tools can be integrated as wel in VS ;-), Azure is awesome to if you experimented with it.
With .Net you can integrate almost any language and Python is one of them.
I recently talked to someone who does his PHP work solely on Azure because of the platform.
I guess you have to get in the .Net platform fully (Linq / Entity Framework / DDD (Repository / Unity Of Work / ...) to really comprehend what i'm saying.

Perhaps for some, i added a new threat on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5981257 for more information on "Enterprisy" (can't name it better) apps on .Net.
