I made atleast 3 web apps for personal use (hosted on my home server, accessible only within the local network) in Asp.Net (on linux) and I can say it is the best development experience I have had in a while. It is as boring as it gets, batteries included, performant and excellent docs. Can be very stripped down setup using Minimal APIs for simple cases, but can support more complex requirements using Razor pages or MVC.

I very strongly believe it's only Microsoft's reputation that is hindering it's adoption outside enterprise settings (and very deservedly so).

It's funny, I just wrote the same thing. Everyone's sleeping on ASP.NET because it is MS or not connected to JS. It is very, very underrated.

It’s a great language, it just lacks the wealth of online tutorials and bootcamps that the JS ecosystem had to get a generation hooked
