Microsoft is definitely treating their developers well.

I was exposed to this firsthand yesterday when I cloned the [ShareX](https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX) project to take a look at a problem I was encountering.

Literally all I had to do was install Visual Studio Community, click the “Open in Visual Studio” button on Github, wait a few minutes to install the C# runtime that Visual Studio automatically prompted me to install, and click “Run”.

5 minutes was all it took to be writing code for that project and it makes me want to get into the .Net ecosystem more.

Chiming in: just did the same with Docu, HTML documentation generator from C# XML doc https://github.com/jagregory/docu

Project code did not change much since 2010. It even has bits of IE 9 support.
