.NET had excellent documentation. I still pine for the truly-comprehensive MSDN of yore (where "yore" == 2007 or so). Back then, they had less ground to cover (only one .NET Framework and it ran on Windows only), and a bigger budget to do it.
These days, and especially after the big migration to a new CMS a few years back, it's really hit-or-miss for me, especially when it comes to UI framework docs.
There has been a lot of churn in the "Microsoft.Extensions." packages, and the docs aren't always up to date for those.
Overall though, I have to agree that the .NET docs are very good.
First of .NET has excellent documentation, right up there with the PHP. Still my favorite documentation site to snowball through sometimes.
Second, "old DI/enterprisey boilerplate" is what saves you when you get handed the project 5 years down the road, and have to be productive as fast as possible.
Edit:
> So, what’s the best-organized resource for getting up to speed on .NET these days?
Probably just the official documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/?view=aspnetcor...
