You don't have to use all the features of C#. I make my living at it and don't touch a lot of them. The issue with C# is culture. They went full in on blog driven development so there's way too many people who will yell this is the way to do things this week.

It's true. You will incur the wrath of C#'ers if your simple ToDo list app doesn't have a ToDoListItemRepositoryServiceFactory.cs and a minimum of 4 separate layers in which one must update 20 files because you added a property to one class.

Don't get me wrong, I still love C#/.NET. I use it everyday, but my god, has Swift been a breath of fresh air. The Swift community, when not whining about Swift UI, has been much less dogmatic in my experience.
