"Getting up and running with a Microsoft stack is just plain too hard for a developer in, say, Argentina, or Nepal, or Bulgaria"
I live and work in Bulgaria, and you are wrong. My impression is that most Bulgarian programmers use .NET. I am not sure if you imply people are poor and don't have the money to buy the tooling, but this is not the case. Most programmers start out working for a company and most companies in Bulgaria pay for Microsoft tools. Once you have the skill, even after you move on and start contributing to open source projects, you don't give up on .NET. I think that Bulgaria is no different that the US in how developers decide what tools to use.

On Parenthood
Our son was born March 12th, 2009. He's a little over two and a half years old. Now, I am the wussiest wuss to ever wuss up the joint, so take everything I'm about to say with a grain of salt – but choosing to become a parent is the hardest thing I have ever done. By far. Everything else pales ...
