I must agree with your position. I have very few problems with MS technology. Although I believe some things are harder then need be due to what can only be marketing requirements finding their way into the applications.
My issues with MS are based almost completely on policy. Continuously MS is hindering the growth of the industry as a whole. I expect though that the problem is bigger then just MS after all it should be the goal of any company to become more and more profitable. Here we see an example of Capitalism failing miserably. Not mind you that I could offer a better alternative, but I think Open Source is providing an interesting new age in public involvement and self determination.
This is a revolution of historic proportions and we are all part of it.
Who are you to judge what is right and wrong. You believe that they must conform to your way of life because any other is wrong. What do you think the crusades were about (Well other then spice naturally) 'All I can say is beware the tyranny of the self righteous'.
It's not that I don't support the idea that they may not live in a free society it's that I believe more strongly in the idea that I am not the sole judge of such a thing; to believe otherwise is pure vanity.
Millstone does not seam as feature rich. I have downloaded it and after looking at a few classes for some of the features I love in echo I find it lacking for example Button
There appears to be no rollover support. It seams that Millstone is a reasonable framework, but I feel that it compares better to AWT then swing where ECHO compares to SWING.
