Lots of good feedback in this thread so far that I agree with. If I'm doing Windows stuff, yeah, it's great. Lots of new good stuff. My next project is going to be Azure based, so I'm sure I'll be back in the world a bit.

There's a lot you can do with C# with .NET, game engines, cross-platform tools and so on.

I develop on a Mac (JetBrains Rider) and deploy to Ubuntu. .NET is truly cross-platform at this point.

I develop on Linux using Rider and deploy to Linux servers.

The EF Core + ASP.NET Core combination is very addictive.

It is, but I'm never truly happy with the outcomes at least last time I tried which was, admittedly, pre-covid.
