Blazor is doing a fine job being a home for WebForms and Silverlight refugees, how far it will stay relevant remains to be seen.

On my job I have zero reasons to suggest it, given the split between FE and BE teams.

Organisations always move slower than technologies. And if Microservies show anything it is that sometimes you just need a technical solution for a human problem.

I understand your lack of desire to touch anything remotely resembling frontend. Yet your hostility towards Blazor perplexes me, as for me it is the hot garbage that is JS is a primary reason.

Let's say I use Microsoft technologies since MS-DOS 3.3, and Blazor isn't the first great thing that eventually goes south.

I belong to the group of people that knows Web Forms before .NET 1.0, went through Silverlight, XNA, WinRT, UAP, UWP,...

One thing that Web Forms and Silverlight taught me, is that working directly with browser tech, regardless how bad it may be, is much better than debugging framework and VS interoperability code.

For the same reason I master C, regardless of my opinion on it, and its bad influences in security, I have a much easier time on UNIX clones, than otherwise would be.
