In my 20 some years of using .NET and C#, I don't think I've ever run into a case where I felt "this is some Microsoft bullshit".

It's continuously gotten better, but I feel that many folks still have an image of C# and .NET from back in 2003 rather than 2023.

in my 10 years of using .NET and C# i encounter microsoft bullshit most days, so i would bet money that you run into those cases all the time but just got used to it lol
if you've only used it on windows then you have constantly been running into the case of only using it for Microsoft bullshit...
I've been using it exclusively on an M1 Mac for the last 2+ years. I was just at a startup where the entire team was deploying into T4 Arm instances in AWS. Two developers started on Windows machines, but at the end, every developer was on a Mac.

I have some workloads that I'm developing on my M1 Mac that I'm containerizing and pushing into an x64 Linux runtime environment in Google Cloud.

I guess this is my point: a lot of misunderstanding and misconception about the state of C# and .NET.

What do you mean? It has great support for other platforms. I've been using it on Linux for as long as .NET Core has existed and it has always felt really natural and there are as much documentation for Linux as for Windows with the things I've been doing
