It is sad really, because Microsoft is years ahead of any other company in the way they treat developers. If you havent used Visual Studio you wont understand that.
You are obviously not referring to Visual Studio 2005 here. It is a half-baked unstable mess, that I still have to use every day. It's the Vista of IDEs.
Microsoft also has a tendency to release frameworks before they are stable, or well thought through. They do usually get things right after a few versions, but the unfortunate people who build and maintain software built on the original idea are left stranded.
- nollidge 16y agoWhat sort of development are you doing in 2005? I never had much of a stability problem until doing stuff with WPF under VS2008.
- jeroen 16y agoWhat's keeping you from upgrading to VS2008 or VS2010 and targeting the 2.0 framework?
- bvge 16y agoThe web services use WSE3, and there is a lack of will on the part of management to have them ported to WCF.
- aerique 16y agoNot only that, once they finally get it right it'll get phased out for their latest framework so you can keep on paying the Microsoft tax. My biggest beef with them is that they chose to make money not through technical excellence but usually through more subversive means.
