I'm not sure about the comparison to Go as that can get very verbose. Same with Python. And JS is an absolute mess compared to C#/.NET which has a fantastic standard library and many conventions to get going fast.

.Net (and Java) run the Fortune 1000 so there will of course be lots of devs specialized in that. There's nothing wrong with being very good with 1 language and stack when you're paid to be productive for the company. Also you can definitely write C# with a simple text editor if you have to, and VSCode is pretty slim already, but why would you want to when there's such a powerful IDE available?

This sounds like a purity argument about how to be a "real programmer", but I would much rather work with people who are good at what they do and get things done instead.
