I always find this article very funny. I do not really use .Net myself, only when I need to make a contribution to a project that is already written in it, but the few developers I know personally that use it are using it for incredibly nonstandard work.

I know of an entire framework written in .Net that exists to hook into a proprietary, developer-hostile program and inject a full plugin ecosystem that exposes the protected memory and processing hooks of the program as a user-friendly API.
