Two of my inhouse applications vendors are "PUSHING"  away from .net applications and moving toward a java platform to address performance issues.  Not sure if that's a coincidence or if it's becoming known that .net is a resource hog in some aspects.
Sometimes... Bad workmen quarrel with their tools. Sometimes...

What sort of system is this though? What sort of volumes die it gave to deal with? NET is not the panacea and the do all environment... And depending on the app... Some development platforms are indeed better than others.
The client-side is really the issue.  As a RDS windows user, anything java is just lighter and faster compared to our .net apps.  With that said, java and windows have been playing well together for a very, very long time.  Our new 2012R2 RDS server with .net 4.5 seems to be substantially faster than our previous 2008R2 servers, even though it's built on the same hardware.
That's interesting. I haven't come across a similar experience. But then again, most of my client side work is web based.
