Microsoft New Orchard
I work at Microsoft and am one of the Orchard maintainers (https://orchardproject.net). This feels so shady. Using Microsoft is the name? I won't even try to comment on it... Call it Orchard? That's bold ;)

Lee's opinions on Umbraco + naming things
Nowadays, especially for any Umbraco extensions I develop, I try to follow Umbraco's own namespaces as closely as possible. e.g. I'd put my custom IContentFinder classes under a [Brand].Web.Routing namespace. Mostly so that it feels logical for any other developers who may be familiar with Umbraco core code.

There were a few changes that I had to make in order to get my integration tests to work:

CMS where you can use c#/ razor code directly in the cms
As /u/transhumanist2000 said, the only other one I've seen that looked heavily supported and had a sizable following are dot net nuke, and I'd add, Umbraco (https://umbraco.com/). Unfortunately I haven't heard the best of feedback about these cmses.

What’s your favorite CMS?
I really like Umbraco (https://umbraco.com/), It has a decent community, and is on DotNetCore these days makes it very easy to use. You can setup most basic things yourself, but since it exists as a satellite to your site. You can integrate with it as deeply or not as you want. Plus the workflow for defining content is nice, the customer-facing UI is also slick, and adding custom elements to it and extending is easy too. Plus it's free.
