My point is that lots of people buy into the popular story that in order to use any tools from Microsoft, you have to use all of them. That's just not true.

Microsoft has tools for test automation, but many people use nUnit because it's better. Microsoft has automated refactoring tools, but many people use ReSharper because it's better. Microsoft has source control tools, but many people use git/hg because they're better.

I've known people who do C# development with Eclipse. It's not as nicely integrated, but whatever. Nothing in the backend stack enforces your IDE tools.

It's the same with postgres or MySql. I personally don't use them because I prefer SQL Server. But I'm not tied to SQL Server by anything but affection for it because it works really really well for what I need.

I can't speak to nginx as I have no experience with it.
