As someone who has actively pushed in the direction of containerized deployments, VS Code with the integrated terminal over VS proper, etc... I love the direction .Net has taken in general. I have worked in a few environments where most of the devs and projects themselves feel stuck in concrete. I've left a couple places like that in the past few years just because they are painful environments to work in.

I couldn't even tell you how to do certain things in the VS gui at this point... I've got Rider and VS installed only because Rider is nicer for refactoring and I've had to fix VS launch issues a couple times (VS backend, vite/react frontent).

Prior to .Net core I had one foot out the door, mostly towards Node... Now, I'm fine with either/both... though all my shell scripting is now with Deno/TS.
