This should spark off quite a discussion.
I have been talking to developers about what they think I should be using for developing client server apps. The ones who have worked with VB6 and Java all say that things just work better in java. They have to fight with their VB code to get things working because it just doesn't always do what its supposed to.
I went to Microsoft devdays and was blown away by the promises quick and stable projects. Is .net riddled with bugs like VB6 was or is it the ultimate new platform/IDE?
Another point is that Java servers are much cheaper (sometimes free) to set up than Microsoft servers and they don't get hacked as often.
Any opinions.
