C# and .NET get a bad rap for being created by Microsoft. But one thing that can't be ignored is how polished their development tools are. I absolutely love coding in Visual Studio.

The dev tools are good, though I think some of the documentation on msdn needs a lot of cleanup/improvement. It is not uncommon to get routed to older API versions or different languages. That said, it is getting better over time.

This tool definitely helps with C#.

One thing I like about Apple developer docs (on developer.apple.com) that MSDN doesn't have (at least didn't last time I looked) is the ability to get a PDF covering specific topics. These are useful when I would rather have not deal with a browser while developing.

I have to admit that I actually came to look at the comments to see what kind of gymnastics the haters would have to do to say that this sucks...

I bet that the first one is going to be something about buttonmashers...I mean programmers using cut and paste and how they suck compared to real programmers...who must be using Go to write blockchain applications to fight the NSA.
