There's nothing wrong with the Microsoft stack. There's also nothing wrong with any of a dozen other stacks. A small team that knows their stack well will perform well.

Microservices, on the other hand, are an effective way to burn engineering resources on something that feels like productive work but delivers no business value. I wouldn't infer much about the merits of tech stacks based on that experience.

I’ve seen lots of successful service oriented architectures
