.net and c# is real nice until you go outside microsoft, its like swift. I really love swift until you go outside apple.

just gift me swift + vim + linux for webdev please! no xcode and no visual studio.

Can you elaborate on this? I develop Web API's on Linux using Rider and deploy on AWS, I never felt any pain.

Like others have chimed in here, it's really not so bad to step away from the Microsoft products while using .NET. I have worked on a solution where all the devs used MacOS running a mix of VS Code and Rider to develop on, while hosting the application on Linux with a PostgreSQL data store. None of it was difficult to setup and configure. There was consistently a bit of an on-ramp for devs who had never used MacOS before (a really common trait among .NET developers), but other than that things were peachy.
