Title: Silly question, but me and my co-founder are building a startup, and we're going to do our web app in ASP .NET simply as my co-founder is lightning fast at it.<p>We're pretty confident in our choice (80% of our business is going to be a mobile app anyway)...but it begs the question, why aren't there more startups that use ASP .NET?<p>What are the major drawbacks that dissuade hackers from developing in ASP .NET? Is it the cost? Performance issues? Frustrating development environment? Lack of a Hacker community? They didn't learn it in their CS courses? All of the above?<p>Reading pg's essay on what startups are really like (http://www.paulgraham.com/really.html), he doesn't mention choice of technology stack at all...would this be because the choice is not nearly as critical as the other aspects to startups?
