My experience with C# has mostly been working on a personal project WinUI desktop app, and my biggest peeve has been reaching for something I use regularly in other languages only to find that it doesn't exist, and the solutions offered up by googling are usually, "well you can write your own implementation", "[huge utility library] offers that", or "don't do that it's not idiomatic/performant/etc". While none of those are showstoppers they slow development down and act as a source of frustration.

That's strange because I can't think of a language with a bigger first party library than .NET. The breadth of System. and Microsoft. is enormous.
It's funny because I keep seeing "Go is the gold standard of what a standard library should be", when dotnet dwarfs it by a BIG margin.
