Java versus Wintel developers

I've started noticing a trend lately. I've always worked with Windows/.NET developers. I recently started working in a mixed shop of .NET and Java developers. I am starting to think that all developers are not equal. The .NET crew are a bunch of arrogant idiots who will not work together on anything. And, the Java guys seem to collaborate on everything. I am not a Java developer and haven't been exposed to many of them. But, after this experience, I am starting to think they are far more professional in general. Has anyone else noticed this, or have I just not seen enough Java developers yet?
 
A monkey could program in C# since its a damn intuitive language. And with monkeys comes arrogance.

my theory atleast:)

It started before C# was even invented. The worst offenders seem to be long time C++ developers who are too good to trust something like the .NET runtime to write their code for them.
 
I've seen idiots in both camps. There's just more .Net devs out there at the moment, so you're bound to have more idiots.

Java trailer...

Bounce... :)

Well, i have no idea why i came over this thread, but some friend of mine are arranging the Java Zone in Oslo this year, and actually made a nice trailer for the event...

http://jz10.java.no/java-4-ever-trailer.html

The trailer touches some of the the .net vs java discussion, so its not completly off topic...

P.s Trailer is in norwegian, but subtiltled....

Take care...

I would say it's more of the shop hiring likeminded people more than anything else.

Not sure if Java is *that* influential, however, a running joke is that C# is just another name for "d flat". :)
