IMHO more productive is a combination of C# .NET the IDE the libraries the documentation :) in comparison with any combination of C++ compiler and toolkit for interface building. Sure it is true only for GUI building. I am C++ zealot but if you ever have seen what managed C++ looks like you will agree that if you go .NET then go C# either. I must say that I do not take QT here once again - looks like it is really productive. Hi Andy.

Oleg,

What was that was more productive?:

C#
.NET
the IDE
the libraries
the documentation

If you were using MFC I don’t blame you for wanting to change!

Being C++ programmer that was using VC6++ for a very long time I can't build good looking interface in reasonable time but can do it with .NET where good choice is C#. I did not take in account QT though - your favorite one. It is not a main stream.

Thanks for publishing it. I loved the #000000 != #0c0c0c joke. I was driven from my last workplace by scrum (I hate being micromanaged), and am consequently sympathetic to anyone debunking agile development. But gee, I really think I need to get into Ruby on Rails :-) A very entertaining and insightful essay. Thanks for publishing it. I loved the #000000 != #0c0c0c joke.
