Changing the Zen of Programming. The concept of managed code (as Microsoft calls it) is here to stay [...] Writing OS kernels in C is one thing, but believing that is the way forward for writing end user applications is a dead end. [Bright Eyed Mister Zen]

Amen.  If your code isn't a part of some sort of component framework, it's much less inherently valuable because it's excluded from component marketplaces.  In other words, it's less useful.  It's like writing code for some obscure platform.  Sure, it works, but you've made it so hard for others to use, you might as well have not written it at all.
