But for me, I had to re-write the stuffs many times when migrating to newer version.
Had to convert silverlight project to Html 5 in short time. There are many more but... you can understand...

Think it this way: it provides work for us. If with one technology you need X people, with 7 technologies you'll need many more to provide interoperability, future maintenance, porting...

Well, you can't really prevent windows from being broken, so... just ride with it!

That's the industry in which we live and breathe. Technology doesn't stand still for anyone. Sometimes the changes don't work, othertimes they do, or sometimes they need further re-work. The point is, it is a constantly moving and shifting industry.
If you're not moving forwards then you're going backwards. If you don't like the MS way of doing things, then there are always other technological ecosystems you could use.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

Yeah, I would slowly shift towards Open Source which is probably not changing so frequently but getting updated with time. I can't do a sudden switch as I have spent 9+ years in MS technologies.

You should read the full sentence. You have quoted only half the sentence and given me the answer which I already know.

Your original comment was: "Yeah, I would slowly shift towards Open Source which is probably not changing so frequently but getting updated with time. I can't do a sudden switch as I have spent 9+ years in MS technologies."
You didn't mention anything about Microsoft open source technologies...?

I'm afraid you should read about AngularJS and AngularJS 2 for starter to know what to expect.
What you see now in MSland is the pure open source fest you and others wanted so badly and loudly - no official, best for all purpose solutions, fast development, breaking changes. Many ways to the top of the mountain, choose your one wisely.

I understand how you feel, because I am a victim of my parents !
1. They created me, and yet I cried a lot when I was a baby.
2. They demanded I learn how to use a toilet, and I did that, and then they never thanked me.
3. I learned how to eat food without it dribbling out of my mouth and falling all around me: they still find things to criticize about the way I eat.
4. They sent me to school, and to high-school, and college, and there was no job waiting for me when I graduated.
5. Now they've stopped sending me money, and told me I can't live with them anymore.
They're just like Microsoft !

Hmmm, there is a difference....
10 yrs back, i had option to choose between Java, MS, LAMP, etc. for web development.

The freedoms we see in the rear-view mirror of hindsight are closer than they appear to be.

The trick was always not to jump on every technology Microsoft released, but to choose the ones that did the job you wanted (and weren't obvious duds)..
Silverlight - Microsoft's answer to Flash, just as Flash was on the way out. [Avoided]
WebForms - ASP.NET had to start somewhere, I remember when they were absolute positioned too. Always a bad idea, but Microsoft saw the light with MVC and many of us switched over (and never looked back) once MVC 2 came out.
Mobile View features of MVC 4 - why bother when Bootstrap did this and you could take your UI with you? [Avoided]
Knockout got washed away by Angular - when was that? It really depends on what you're building?
Identity in MVC 5 - like a lot of things with Microsoft, always best for v2 to come out before adoption. [Avoided]
Windows 8 tiles - Tiles.. well, duh!
Windows 9 - so good it's two (look at that, "two"!) generations ahead of Windows 8
Azure - probably one of the best Microsoft products at the moment, and you can still use IIS on an Azure VM if you so wish.
I'm pretty excited about MVC6 though, good things are happening there!

Hmmm,
I am also looking for vNext. But will surely give a 2nd thought before adapting any of its new feature.

It'll be interesting to see what development tools come out for Linux/OSX

Yes, I'll second that...if I can run my ASP.Net stuff on a Linux box without too many contortions, that will make me happy

And leave the nitty-gritties of implementation to the Technology folks of your company.

Thats a nice suggestion but... No thanks...
I can take the risk and choose stuffs which will not fade away so soon.
I am not scared to learn new things, but feel disappointed when it is discontinued in less than 2-3 yrs.

That's why I do not code anymore. Actually, I did not give up, I am just waiting for stability in the technologies.

I don't think it will happen any time near future. It is continuously evolving.
