"But more importantly, the problems I'm solving can't be more easily solved using another stack."
Its a sweeping statement to say the least.
I know the VS IDE and such often prevent you doing dumb things/shooting yourself in the foot and its great!
But are you saying that in the entire development universe there is no solution adequate to any serious problem that didn't come from the MS stack? You'll have never done anything like massively parallel computing or big/complex data sets then. Or AI development.
Air Traffic Control system in .Net, for example? Nah.
.Net is a just a general-purpose tool for writing certain kinds of software. That's all. And it is telling that none of Microsoft's core products (the ones that earn lots of cash) are even remotely going to ever be converted to .Net or managed code.
