I'll explain it this way: I can build anything you can build in any other language. And I'll do it faster, easier, and with a more maintainable product. And with the latest releases, it'll also be one of the fastest, lightest, and most compatible applications too.

Everything from the fantastic IDE and tooling, to the massive and comprehensive standard library, to the wide range of outputs (CLIs, websites, APIs, mobile apps, games, native desktop apps), to the cutting-edge projects like Blazor (first component-based UI framework not in JS that can be run client or server-side) means you can build whatever you want without much overhead. Even language and framework features like LINQ are unmatched.

If you want a single word, I'd say it comes down to pure productivity.

The thing I mostly miss with the current .NET ecosystem is the capability of making desktop GUI applications easily on Linux.
