You really are right, of course.
Have you ever used the new IIS Manager(InetMgr) Server 2012 R2 tool?
Especially the Configuration Manager?
It is a terrible interface. It's so terrible, it feels malicious. As if they attempted to convince you not to use it.
If you attempt to alter data down in the config -- nested data -- you have to keep clicking these ellipses which popup more windows. You can easily get 8 popup windows deep. terrrible!!!

Sounds like the marketing spiel for Windows 8 
I do wonder if the plan is to make things like IIS so bad to manage that we give up and hand it all over to Azure.. 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Sure, but I have been a bit more careful lately and bring up only one sort of fanboi against me at a time.

The NuGet package manager is pretty much the same in VS2017 as it was in VS2015. It was VS2013 that had the tiny modal dialog, instead of the docked window.

I was reading Cornelius's (@cornelius-henning) post about plugging gaps in his understanding of C# and his story is very similar as mine. I also taught myself how to program 30 or so years ago from Basic, Assembler, Pascal, to C#.
I was wondering, how many here on CP has a similar story? Are you self taught or do you have a CS degree in programming?
(This would probably make a good poll, if it hasn't been done already.)

I have a CS degree, but most of what I know now, I learned by myself in the last 20+ years.
C# did not exist, C++ was far from what it is now, IDE were mostly non existent.
OpenGL was just born (who remember GL).
Unix was still strong and everyone loved X11 and Motif
The web was still gopher and FTP and newsgroups.
I'd rather be phishing!

Funny, my degree is in Professional Chemistry. I guess it is as valid as the old CS degrees now.

Ditto. Every technology I knew when I graduated, or learned during my first few professional years, has long since been superseded.
Which is not to call anything I learned a waste. Everything I learned then was a building block for everything I know now.

To be perfectly honest, what I learnt on my CS degree course all those years ago was ... um ... useless knowledge for the most part. It wasn't until I was out in the real world that I learned how to really program - but since it was a "thin sandwich" course with 6 months Uni, and 6 months industry the transition to "actually able to do it" started at the end of my first year.
I have since always found most "recent graduates" in CS have always be ivory tower b*llsh*t merchants who think they know it all because they can spout the words ...
