Not native English - does "to the uneducated" means you are directing this sentence that knows no better or you are uneducated?

Because if it is former, you need to re-educate yourself.

C# is not linked to IDE. You can do `dotnet build`? Can run on Linux if you will. Database choice? You are NOT limited to SQL Server or Windows server.

People who already are familiar with C# know this. To programmers that do not, may prefer to stick with another language to keep away from Microsoft in general.

Again - my comment is a response about why C# is not used more for startups. I am not suggesting it isn't, but there are plenty of reasons, and this is likely just one.
