  1. sdk

    Core functionality needed to create .NET Core projects, that is shared between Visual Studio and CLI (by dotnet)

    It's not about being "cool"

    It's about the motives

    "it's open source"

    "it now works on linux"

    it all doesn't matter if they'll go after your ass if you dare build tooling with their debugger (jetbrains)

    of when they want to remove a feature overnight to make it exclusive to visual studio windows

    https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/22247

    it's this kind of things that makes it hard to recommend to people, and Microsoft can't be trusted

  4. accounting

    Implementation of a forward-only double-entry accounting method with a relational database. (by denys-olleik)

    I am absolutely using .NET as a solo dev on a very large project, and I have the same question. To me, it's the most vanilla language/framework/IDE combination. Modern .NET is difficult to trash or praise, because of that, no one talks about it. If you ever wanted to experience pure ASP.NET with minimal usage of SPA frameworks, check out https://github.com/denys-olleik/accounting.
