Since I have got the options to have custom tags/attributes that can do wonders, I am in a phase to decide which to use (and in what situation) in normal line of business application. Assuming that I have flexibility to choose either architecture to build web app.
Tag helpers or Angular Directives? I, personally, would not like to mix both in same application.
Some parameters I am considering:
1. Security: Risk of leaking out by business logic even if it is UI related business logic.
2. Client side vs server side: code execution, caching result of custom tag (if feasible), data binding.
3. Performance: Load time, execution time, memory taken in server as well as browser.
4. Flexibility: watching change in my custom tag and providing dynamic behavior accordingly.
5. Logging and Exception handling: Should log to a persistence storage if exception occurred.
6. Modularity/Portability: I should be able to port my directives/taghelpers to other apps easily with single copy of source code (let version control handle other things).
7. Customization: Any custom needs should be derived from my native directive/tag helpers.
8. Features and community support.
9. <Add your parameter here>...
Requesting to share your opinion on a scale of 10 against each parameter. I know all parameters can be handled properly in both technologies, but, Which one would you prefer and why?
Life is a computer program and everyone is the programmer of his own life.

A tag helper as far as I understand runs on the server side and "renders" some HTML crap, while Angular is a client side framework, not sure how you can even compare them. It's not even apples and oranges.
it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

More often about the double-D.

You are discriminating against the internet.

Xamarin seems soooooo great. I love the C# language and Forms is getting UWP support. My biggest problem is that price tag. I am starting a small team (currently <10 people, don't plan on going above 10) that does contract / freelance mobile app development for may types of people including:
- People who have just any app idea
- Apps to be used internally by businesses
- People who need a mobile game
- etc.
but even $999/developer/platform/year seems to high  . I mean I need 2 iOS and 2 Android, which totals to about $4000 a year. I know that may not be much, but for a younger person (I'm only 17 atm) I don't think I get manage that till at least a few years.
For now, I fine just going with the plain SDK's. I can do Android and Windows, and some backend work. And my other team can cover iOS, more Android, and more backend but Xamarin seems so nice. Code reuse would be amazing.
What do y'all think. Is Xamarin a good investment? Is it worth that price?

May I suggest that you try Xamarin's tools (trial versions), study the traffic on their support forums, look for evidence the tools available now produce good results (actual products in the market now with good "reviews"), and ignore what you hear about "... in the future ..." in carefully planned marketing campaigns designed to make devs drool

Amen...they used to just call it 'cross platform'...they were saying that 20 years ago.

James, if you're a student (and I assume you are), you can get the Pro version of Xamarin for free[^]!

I tried once, and they refused to give it to me because I am not enrolled in a "diploma granting program". Plus, it would only be good for a few more months

I have used Xamarin to develop production apps for the enterprise (see my Xamarin articles on here listed against my profile). I found it an excellent technology for developing cross-platform enterprise apps. The company I was working at were a large UK IT supplier who could easily afford the price tag of multiple Xamarin licences (we even had one just for the build server so we could build the app).
There is a free trial version that you can download to evaluate it. I would suggest you use this as you get most of the functionality of the full version. The integration with Visual Studio is excellent and the online examples are great too.
You'll need to consider what you want to achieve, what your business objectives are, what your customers want and then decide if Xamarin is worth the cost of the licence(s).

If you're willing to do cross-compilation (work on one O/S while compiling for another), look into Microsoft's Visual Studio 2015. IIRC, it coms with (some version) of Xamarin.
The Community Edition is free for non-commercial use and small commercial teams at non-Enterprise companies (I forget the exact licensing terms).
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

For the last 5 years, I have had the joy, the sheer JOY of working with SVN. Now, before you GIT wankers get going, I used to work with Visual Source Safe, so now you understand my joy.
Today, I am trying to go back through the history of VSS to recreate a build from April 2010.
After I'm done "shaving" I am going to splash my bleeding face with alcohol.
I am doing this so that another engineer can avoid getting another serving of BBQ Penguin in South Africa. Apparently, it does not agree with him.

When I looked at VSS for a project I inherited and looked at their tools for viewing history, I decided that VSS didn't actually have history. Not in any way that made sense to me nor in a way that didn't take ages to look up the commit log (ok, granted, this was over a VPN, but still...)
So, I feel your pain.

I actually like Subversion...it's easy to use.

I like subversion as well. It started as an experiment at my local contract and escaped the lab. Bugzilla did the same thing - escape the lab - and I so want to kill it off (super clunky).
