Brett, Sorry, but I cant believe your post ! Why bother ?? Because with c# you have - no pointer shit which makes everyone mad who is not a professional programmer - no memory leaks - no dll, regsvr32 etc shit anymore - TRUE ype safety - superb OOP support with even integer beeing an object - all what you need BASIC types (strings, collections etc.) - no dictionary files - superb integrated GUI development, no need for moc files etc. - object oriented database module build in - true oop acces to file and security system AND to the compiler (try do this with CINT !) - security settings on exe level (well I guess UNIX had that before, but not windoze) and much more. It would be nice if the developers at root would think in USER terms and not only in developer terms :) Ask any root user how much time they spend developing and debugging code in comparison to do their ACTUAL work ! C# and .NET is about PRODUCTIVITY, I cant wait to go back to my REAL work instead of debugging root/qt and whatever problems.
