Yes, I have. I've been programming with C# since it was first released, so we're very well acquainted, and I can build MVPs quickly. As always though, it depends what you are used to.

I didn't see it as any more enterprise-focused than Java, andid say less so since dotnet core brought multi-platform support.

Thank you for your feedback. When I said "predominantly an enterprise-focused technology", I meant overall popularity for building in-house enterprise products versus developing startup products. Anyway, should I decide to use .NET, I would most likely use a high-quality boilerplate solution as a foundation. Specifically, I'm a big fan of (and have already played with) ASP.NET Boilerplate and its next-gen version called ABP Framework. They also have relevant attractive commercial versions.

I should have been clearer, but I meant for building MVPs for side-projects and startups (although I have actually built many an MVP with C# in the Enterprise world too).

I see. Thank you for the clarification.
