Here's an analogy that might be relevant.
Why would Joe want to have Vanilla Ice Cream when he can have Chocolate, Strawberry or Butterfinger Crunch ?
Most like the answer might be: I like Vanilla and don't want Butterfinger Crunch because Vanilla satisfies me.
However when you try Butterfinger Crunch you ask yourself. "Why didn't I try that before ? It tastes great."
I think bottom line is that every shop has a different technical demographic and the more languages and platforms we have that run on IBMi the better it is for the ecosystem.
If you want more details, spend an hour watching my presentation and your questions may be answered. And maybe you'll even be inspired to try some Butterfinger Crunch.

Richard Schoen

Richard, I know I'm lobbing one over the middle of the plate here, but can you give me a brief list of the top 5 benefits of .Net over all of the other options we have on the IBM i?? Obviously if you have Windows development talent in-house, it's a pretty easy call, but what about for shops that don't?? What about the .Net environment intrinsically benefits me as a developer?? Why would I (Joe Pluta) want to take the time to broaden my .Net skills?
