Richard Grimes quits working with .NET

http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=9211/ddj050201dnn/ & http://www.richardgrimes.com/

Wow, this was a total surprise to read this morning.  I have listened to what Richard has had to say for a number of years (at least seven years, and I have never met him).  His statements and principles have been treated with great respect by the people that I work with.  I have just gotten done reading his article about why he is quitting working with .NET.  I do not really understand his reasons beyond a frustration with VB.NET, the .NET changes to Longhorn, and a belief that Microsoft has lost confidence in .NET.  I am sorry to hear that he is leaving the .NET community.  I wish he would not leave.  His insight will be missed by myself and others.  I wish him well going forward.

This is the first time I've ever read anything from the guy and he sounds like an idiot. His arguements don't make alot of sense when you start to apply reality to them. Sorry to be so blunt, but good riddance.

You ought to fix the typo in your title ;-)

It's Grimes, not Grines.
