Back in the days of Windows Forms apps, I considered them a viable alternative for 5250 UI apps. They were stupid simple to create and could easily be connected to RPG backend programs.

Fast forward to today, I question what Visual Studio/.NET brings to the midrange community. This coming from someone conscripted into .NET development over a decade ago.

Now if we could just get some of our notables at IBM to go through therapy and acknowledge Microsoft by name we would have even more progress 😊

Oh well the revolution continues even though IBM doesn't seem to embrace one of the most important tecnologies for new app development.

Imagine if Microsoft and IBM ever merged.........

I'm happy to see MS doing this, arguably the .Net development environment is the most efficient development environment out there due to the tooling MS
provides around the editor. I doubt it's #LinuxFever, it's more likely
keep your friends close, your enemy closer.
