Recently in a requirements meeting, the solution was to be decided between .NET and SharePoint 2010.
But all I could hear from the other side was that since SharePoint stores all content in SQL Server database, BLOBs will increase the size of the content database and thus lead to slower performance. Also they said that retrieving data from SQL Server is slower than .NET. So, they decided to use .NET and not SharePoint.
I really didn't like the way they dismissed SharePoint. Does SharePoint really get slow when storing large files (up to 2GB) in content database? If yes, what is the solution? Where can I find performance comparision between SharePoint 2010 and .NET?
