Re: [Eclipsedotnet-developers] .NET 1.1 vs .NET 2.0 again

[Rui S. <rmt...@gm...>]

There are some factors that may influence our decision, I will talk about 
these:
- Productivity
- Marketing

In the productivity field, we are worried if the adoption of the .NET 2.0 is 
what we need to increase the development of the tool. The major advance I 
see here, is that VS2005 is a big improvement over VS2003, and it can really 
increase our productivity. As a drawback of switching to VS2005, we cannot 
use .NET1.1 .
Today, the major improvements in the development cycle arrive from the use 
of a good IDE, and not from a small set of features introduced in a new 
version of a language. Another force that we have to deal are the libraries, 
in this domain I haven't the knowledge to express an opinion.

Another thing we have to take into account is Marketing, we should think 
about what platform our users are using and if they are able to switch to 
the new platform? About this, I have to say that almost everyone will make 
that switch, because microsoft and mono are motivating the users to do that.
