I am not sure about the 'slightest advantage' aspect: I thought MS sold 
the .Net thing mostly on the premise of 'write in the language you're 
most comfortable yet share with others you/they find useful'; and it 
seems --if it was properly licensed-- it could catch on on other 
platforms too.

Having said this, please don't take me as if I am out to 
undermine/undervalue your years/decades of work/experience. Nor should I 
come accross as if I see an imminent crowd of people dying to take FPC 
where no one dared to before --and that you're standing before the onset 
of Brave New Word. No, of course, nothing of that sort.

But, I think it would be fair to say this: Rejecting even 
ideas/proposals in such a fashion (maybe it's not how you mean it, but 
that's how someone like me perceives it) becomes discouraging for the 
more tentative.

Cheers,
