Where does this stuff come from? If the "majority" hates NET it should be possible to identify examples. Can you name any? What I've seen is a stream of provocative condescending attitude towards VFP developers and when one of them snaps back, it's presented as anti-NET-ism rather than a reaction to boorish behavior. But whatever.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
