I am staying away from Microsoft tools. They just want to lock you in and then suck all the money.

This type of attitude, wanting to use the work of others without paying a dime, is what moved me away from FOSS.

Lock you in? To what? I see it as just another option (tool) of the many available tools out there. If it is better than the rest and makes it easier to build solutions, I would consider paying for it.

If you already had cross-platform in mind, then I guess don't consider C#, or any .NET stuffs.

Use something like Java or Python, instead.

Anyway, MS don't force you to use their technologies :p

C# and .Net (both versions) are cross platform. Core being made from the ground up to be cross platform.
