Well, Kevin, there's lots of talk about endowing .NET with MUCH BETTER data I/O capabilities. My programming ALL involves data I/O.
Now I'll grant you that I can probably build a whole house using just a shovel. But would I want to?
I can likely build real nice .NET applications today. But why would I want to go to a whole lot of extra work to do so?... so that I can say I did it?
Naw, I continue to wait form the prime time version of .NET. You pioneers have done us all a great service. But I did my pioneering efforts way back and, frankly, I want the simpler life now. So I let folks like you do that work now, fully expecting to reap the benefits some day in the future.
Just because you *can* build nice applications now doesn't mean that the product is "good". All it proves is that it is "adequate".
cheers

There are several shops in Philadelphia that are cranking out all sorts of .NET apps for clients across the globe...in "prime time".

And explain to them why you feel that way.
