They may be even 30 GB of help files, the way it is documented is poor. Yes, there are all the signatures of the functions and the members of the classes, wow, much useful - except that there is no info on what each class does, except for some of them.
Should I use System.Windows.Controls.Image or System.Drawing.Image or System.Windows.Imaging.BitmapImage? How can I convert between one of the above to another of them? Why can't I show a BitmapImage in a control and I hav to copy-wrap-mangle with them? Not documented. It says: here the members, here the methods signatures, go flock yourself. And I do: I use native and Win32 APIs, which are faster, well documented and thoroughly known.

I agree that MSDN is not the best _teaching_ resource, but at least it has everything what .NET has! Above that there is a lot of sites (like StackOverflow) where you can get answer on almost everything - including your Bitmaps. So it's just lie ".NET is poorly documented" - it has A LOT of docs, just google what you need. For 10 years on .NET I had may be 2-3 questions which had no answer, all other problems was resolved quickly.
Today .NET is the best platform I know - far better than Java, Swift or whatever. And it's related tools too - VS stay one step above all those Eclipse/ItelliJ/SharpDevelop/NetBeans craftworks.

I don't have access to any site except MSDN. It took me 3 years to have access to CodeProject and StackOverflow. So I couldn't ask anything - but MSDN should provide ALL the documentation. If you describe me a tool in any aspect but you don't tell me what I'm supposed to do with it then it is useless, I will never use that tool anyway.

Find another job, you are working in a cave

Easier said than done, at least here I'm hired without term, instead of working 2-3 months for a bread crumb. And the job is really interesting, way more than the average .NET project

Java is a good language. I don't knock it.
As with any language or technology, there are those who know how, and those that don't know how.

Java is a good language, that's true. But the language and it's structure is just the tip of the iceberg. The accompanying libraries and technologies are more important. And I've never been very happy with the Java related technologies.

I make my living with C#, and I complain about it everyday. It is anything but perfect, but it is better than stone tablets and post-it notes.

I'm interested in knowing what exactly you complain about on a daily basis.

If I quote CG "Java is like this Japanese soldier, who fought WWII in the jungle twenty years after the war was over". So Java may popup time to time, just to annoy the people, and is still supported from some organizations like Oracle for example, put it pretty much dropped from the technology main stream years ago.

But it somehow tops all language popularity rankings? Yeah, those probably have a typo...

I wouldn't say that. Java is the first class language for Android which is why the popularity is still high.

Java is not dead like "Rolling Stones are forever" - yes, while exist oldfags to scream about it. Real life moves forward and Java just sit and watches for C# on the horizon!

Nope, just ironic word Russians borrow to describe old guy, who lives in a previous century and doesn't want to live in an actual time, ignoring modern culture, things, etc. They think "everything great" was made only by his generation.
Java is the same story - people who study it 15 years ago just stopped in progress - they still think programming is writing 100-LOCs to save CSV data. Hardly they will make something meaningful nowadays!

java. It's terrible.
MySQL. It's terrible (which is strange considering it is from Oracle)
XML is, more or less OK although this does depend on the need. Here we work with CSV, ASCII, xls and FITS files all with their good and bad and worse formats, so here it's not technology itself, but rather how they use it.
Linux. Some swear by it, I hate it.
openoffice/libreoffice.  open office is probably all right, but libre office? 
iTunes. They should execute the humans involved in this piece of cr*p.
Most technologies are OK depending on how you use them.

I agree with you on each point  except on MySQL, only because I never used it

an example. MySql doesn't support milliseconds in their datetime objects...
See here[^]
However, when MySQL stores a value into a column of any temporal data type, it discards any fractional part and does not store it.
|
|
|
|
|
You rather conveniently left-out the very next sentence.
"MySQL 5.6.4 and up expands fractional seconds support for TIME, DATETIME, and TIMESTAMP values, with up to microseconds (6 digits) precision:"
It seems apparent that the origin of this particular problem lies with the people controlling your working environment, rather than MySQL.
This version of MySQL (5.6.4) was released over three years ago. (20 dec 2011)

I´ll have to reinvestigate then, because it isn´t working here. My Client is 6.0 I think, but I don´t know about the server.

You just have to use it enough to get used to it.... then the flexibility of it becomes quickly apparent (and neat).

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
