Well said! I once heard C# referred to as a “blue collar language”. Perhaps snarky, but it mirrors my experience.

There’s little in the way of fun in the ecosystem. Not a lot of true open source in the conventional sense, lots of Microsoft MVP consultant types with blogs promoting their services. Those websites look like time capsules from 2011. You won’t find many beautiful, “handcrafted” blogs on .NET topics. A perhaps bizarre metric, but it helped me well in gauging an ecosystem’s vibe (Rust, Go, Python and others pass that vibe check, for example).
