What do you mean with "paying to use" .NET/C#? You can use them for free. Or am I missing something?

He's referring to Visual Studio.

Isn't there a free version of visual studio? The community edition. Or was it ditched away by Microsoft? I used it for my personal projects in the past and never felt the need of paid tools I have at work.

Yes, provided you meet the criteria, so I'm guessing maybe he doesn't... or maybe he just wants to make the point that MS are earning income from this and yet not providing any more support than a free product is providing.
