Why Microsoft Technology Still Dominates the Software Development Industry?
Some 10 years back, most web development companies were very happy to use the Microsoft technology to develop their websites.
Organizations used ASP.Net as their frontend, .Net middle tire and SQL server as their backend and in most cases things worked out well. But with time, things changed a bit and more and more open source technologies came to rule the market. But today, once again the same companies are willing to use the Microsoft Stack. Here in this piece of writing, we will state some important reasons in favor of continuing to develop solutions using the Microsoft software stack.

.Net continues to be the best
The Microsoft .Net framework was introduced about a decade ago and it is a feature rich and tested framework. Earlier, it was common to have combined the native development with managed code, but today the vast majority of development tasks are carried out of the box. Reputed companies like Oracle has released various components that are about 100% .Net managed code that should interface with the products.

The .Net API is well documented, consistent and also used by millions of people. The support that is available via MSDN, forums, blogs and etc. is massive. In case you get stuck for long, you will surely find someone expert in the community who can help.

ASP.Net has evolved
Microsoft technology offers a model that is called ASP.NET and this model offers a comprehensive set of features to create websites by using a page-centric development model or an MVC pattern based development model.

The .NET framework includes the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) that allows you to create both service oriented apps and interoperable web services that are based on common internet standards. It offers robust infrastructure for authentication, features routing and bundling that highly integrates with other nonMicrosoft technologies like the Angular JS and Bootstrap.

Power of WCF and
Web API
WCF came into use in the year 2006 and it was complex in behavior, bindings, endpoints and etc. So, later on Microsoft released the Web API, which was an easy framework and made exposing HTTP web services easy. It is only with few lines of configuration that your API can turn into a secured, industry standard web service. If your use case is not according to the standard mold and you need complete control over how the API is exposed, then you can easily fall back on your WCF. With a huge variety of configuration options, WCF will allow you to custom serialize your data, route message, user peer to peer and queuing and etc.

Easy to test Whenever you create any application, testing plays a vital role in it. To avoid future problems every product has to be thoroughly tested before release. The Microsoft stack is designed with this in mind so that you can make changes even years after the software is released. Since testing is an inseparable part, Microsoft stack is well equipped with the latest features for this reality.

Visual Studio
With the latest developments, Microsoft has made Visual Studio a one stop solution for hosting IDEs and offering some levels of integration with other nonMicrosoft products. From writing iPad and Android apps with Xamarian to the database development with SQL Server Data tools, Visual studio offers a great development experience with a consistent user interface. The same is with Microsoft Azure, a cloud based platform that encompasses a wide range of services from mobile services to database hosting.

Microsoft support for their products
With the changing trends in the software world, many platforms are becoming obsolete and are no longer used. Microsoft Sliverlight was a valid choice earlier, but today it is no longer a feasible option. But it is still supported by Microsoft and this is good for those who are already using this technology. Choosing Microsoft stacks ensures that your time and money invested into the specific technology will be well supported even if it is not much in use in the industry.
