I get your message - that it's not about the platform, it's about the community getting lazy. And lazy is the key word here ... are all of these .NET devs out there hacking away at line-of-business CRUD apps really not capable of more? Is it that these things aren't being done or they are not being shared?

Originally I thought your piece was going to be solely negative, but I like the way you finished with a call-to-arms. You're right, .NET is a great platform and deserves better. Let's organize and build something worth porting the other direction :)
