I totally agree with you, but production deployments are terrible. The confusing way to handle secrets and environment variables, the lack of a standard database migration tool that is not tied to EF, the lack of a good standard integration layer with nginx... it's just a pain if you don't have a dedicated devops team.

Yeah that’s always been the big weakness in my experience. MS does offer a great developer experience but the deployment experience is still a long way behind Java and Go. Slowly moving in the right direction but windows containers are still a 2nd class citizen for example.

Oh and don’t forget Microsoft will probably sunset your chosen framework (such as WPF) and the 3rd party OSS ecosystem is much smaller. Oh and round here dotnet roles pay less, the final nail in the coffin for my MS dev experience!
