In reply to Rick.

I tried wpdotnet in 2013 and wasn't really impressed. And let's not forget what's the history of the .NET platform license- and planning-wise, its future wasn't very promising before Satya Nadella stepped in.

As a Java certified guy who tried out .NET 1.0 which was a 1:1 clone of Java, I'm not really happy with the moral part of the story, and Microsoft are notorious with other things incorporated without credit and such. It's a decent platform and it's pretty open now which is a good thing, and there are solid ideas in ASP.NET MVC or their various DB layers, but I'm not getting into code flames here :)
