Microsoft gonna Microsoft.

And people who have gone all-in on the Microsoft ecosystem are... a special bunch. I sat in on a meetup with some of them once and it soon became clear that I was in a room full of Morts on Microsoft's own Mort-Elvis-Einstein scale. The concept of using variables in PowerShell scripts seemed to mystify them. No surprise then that that sort of person would be terrified to use anything not blessed by the Holy See-Sharp in Redmond.

It's kind of a shame because open-source .NET is really kinda nice. No real C# language support in Emacs, though, and barely any in VS Code without going for the proprietary stuff.
