N ways to do something, but in exchange you can get good solutions in C++. In the C# world you are locked to a medicore compiler, with a medicore package manager, a sub standard (and complicated!) build system and a unacceptable code formatter, for example.

>with a medicore package manager

What do you mean? since .NET Core it always worked flawlessly for me

>unacceptable code formatter

hmm? that's preference not an argument.

With package manager I mean nuget. The last time I used .net (one year ago) ".Net core" was a target platform and already renamed to ".Net".

No, that's not a preference. I'm not complaining about a lack of options, I really don't care how code looks, if it all looks the same. And it fails at that. It quite often simply takes the code as it is and indents it a little bit. Clang-format (and rustfmt and dart format and plenty of others) give you the nice, tidy and homogeneous code layout i expect from a auto formatter.

Yea, I meant Nuget

iirc there were some changes around .NET Framework -> .NET Core to how does it work (where packages are stored) and that's why I said that since .NET Core I didn't have problems with it
