Free trumps ideology.
Working in a .NET environment for free is still too expensive for me.
I'm not telling you to use .NET, so why do you point this out?
And I'm not telling you that you can't. You asserted that "free
trumps ideology". I was responding with why that simplistic phrase
doesn't work for me, in large part because of how you seemed to be
using the word "free".
You can use .NET if you like, cost or no cost to you. I don't
consider only the monthly hosting charges as the be-all-end-all
definition of the costs, so merely getting free monthly hosting isn't
cheap enough for me to call "free".
