4.1. Advantages when Sierra Chart removes .NET:

Zero dependency on the Microsoft .NET framework. This does not have to be installed on a system.

Instantaneous startup.

Overall better performance. Although not to a point where this would be noticeable for most users. One way that Sierra Chart performance can be improved is make sure that any antivirus/anti-malware/third-party firewall programs are disabled or are set not to interfere with Sierra Chart.

Much better spreadsheet performance.

Zero startup issues due to no external dependencies. Although start up issues are not common to begin with.

No reliance on the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable package. This also eliminates start up issues.

Sierra Chart will be 100 percent self-contained within its own folder and have no external dependencies at all. This makes backup, transfer and restoring a very simple process of working with a single folder.

More reliable and compatible on other operating systems like GNU/Linux.

For us, our code base is all very consistent native C++ code, which is easy and fast to debug, maintain and develop. Compiler and linking problems and slow compiling, are eliminated.
