Thank god. I don't know of many outside the Java world who like his comments, he is very different from other people such as Sam Gentile who ask hard questions.
You can see his farewell rant here. I actually think that Grimes is VERY intelligent but the way he presents his own views skews the way every one sees him. From reading his final rant, he is giving up .NET forever. I really don't understand his point of the framework being too large. The redist took 42 seconds to download at home (Comcast 512k/128k) and takes up about .005% of my hard drive. His argument is that Microsoft released too many libraries too fast. So, I wonder which libraries they should have not shipped. System.Data? System.Design? System.Web? C'mon.
