I don't have many qualms about .NET (or rather C#.NET). The UI components
are probably like the others I have used where they work good for most
things. My point more revolves around the fact (yes I said fact) that
Windows is an inferior operating system to i5OS. No I don't have time to
prove that to you in case you were going to ask :-) But I use both for
business related functions daily and I just don't think Windows holds a
candle to i5OS (note I am not talking languages or frameworks here - simply
OS).

Seriously, if the System i5 can offer a programming framework that is
feature rich, easy to use and lead edge wouldn't the fact that it only
ran
on the System i5 be a non-issue?
Hey, I've got no problem being tied to a platform, I use both System i and
Microsoft <G>. My point was, you can't complain about being tied to a
platform and then suggest System i. If true platform indenpendance is
important to you, then java is just about your only choice. Sure, there are
other "web" languages out there (PHP) but I believe java is the only one
that has back-end capabilities.
Now, you can actually run .NET on non-ms platforms either through mono or
through the grasshopper product, but mainstream .net is ms-only.
