It's funny to me that this isn't more of a big deal. It's a marriage of the best darn GUI invented to the best darn language ever... and yet people like you make cracks about '5 guys' developing software with this incredible combination.


Windows sucks as a stable, good-looking operating system.


.NET sucks as a safe (no forced exception handling), easy-to-use (have you actually tried to USE delegates?) language.

    > .NET sucks as a safe (no forced exception handling)

    So a language isn't safe if it doesn't *force* you into a particular model of error handling? That's a ludicrous statement! I guess you feel that almost all languages are unsafe then?

    > easy-to-use (have you actually tried to USE delegates?)

    What's hard about delegates? You define your delegate type like a regular method signature (but with the delegate keyword). Then than you can just go right ahead and create delegate instances, pass them around, and call them. I really can't see anything challenging there.

    On second thought, if you find delegates difficult then perhaps that's why you need to program in a language that babysits your use of exceptions too. It probably is safer for you.
