I don't think the complexities are inherent, I'd rather consider them implementation caused. I'd be rather interested to hear what, apart from groupthink, makes you consider .Net the "absolutely worst of all" though. I can't really comment on the C++ part of .Net, but that was provided just for backwards compatibility. There is still some cruft in the framework from back when C# was just a Microsoft's rewrite of Java, but the current version learned (stole) quite a bit from other languages in the best Perl tradition. Generics, lambdas, type inference, anonymous types, dynamic, ...

What, apart from being from - horrrors - Microsoft, makes you consider .NET worst of all?
