*My* lifecycle is a little different. I have been building libraries since the stone age. Libraries always insulated me from the OS (or frameworks), saved me a lot of time and with version control can also be easily be adapted to changes without breaking older code.
This worked great for all kinds of operating systems or languages, but not at all for Mickeysoft and .Net. After Vista they became more and more chaotic and kept introducing more and more changes just to sell their next great idea. I was working more and more to keep up with their random changes of direction than I was working on any projects. The end came when they decided to kill some things to 'help' us over to Windows 8. Rewriting major parts was just a Little too much, so I scrapped everything and I will not touch anything from Mickeysoft again until the new Lamborghini they owe me for this stands in front of my door. That probably means never.
So what do I do now? I dug out 10 year old stuff which (oh miracle!) still works as good as it always did and started to look for some good open source libraries. Someone further up called what he was doing instead of .Net 'multi platform C++'. Sounds good and it also feels good to be back in the scary unmanaged world again.
P.S: Any errors in capitalization also are Mickeysoft's fault. The spell checker in the browser refuses to let itself be deactivated, but also does not care that I'm currently not writing in my native language.

Still, I don't need Mickeysoft to get myself dirty, mess up a room or otherwise make my life more exciting. And I assume you don't often say 'Take it or leave it' to the kids, right?
