That's understandable - I've just very recently had the 'privilege' of fixing something in a .net 4.5 project - everything, from the tooling, the testing, the baroque xml project format felt super complex, Visual Studio-centric and a huge downgrade from what I'm used to nowadays.

Microsoft has a bizarre habit of overcomplicating every@&$1ing thing in their ecosystems.

I think because most of the features come out of customer request >> architecture plans.

As a result, you end up with a billion different weird behind-the-scene links and requirements that didn't have to be that way and consume unnecessary cognitive load when working with it.
