Ask HN: Any Hope? Developer Switching from MS .Net Development to Free and Open?

I have been a Microsoft .net developer for the past 15 years. I have grown quite frustrated at the direction of Microsoft and the ecosystem.

Hi everyone, we are embarking on a new journey here. Everyone, is, for the most part, are windows developers. We made the decision to go the linux/open source route for our new project (maybe?).
