I work with C#/NuGet on windows every day and my experience is entirely the opposite.

The build and dependency systems are an abysmal esoteric, poorly documented mix between csproj files, sln files, random scattered json files, etc.

The standard library in my experience sucks and has all sorts of issues, especially around Uris, DateTimes, etc.

And the ecosystem itself has such a low quality bar, ironically _especially_ with anything made by microsoft. For every nuget package that's well-designed, well-documented, and easy-to-use, there's five which have bugs and undocumented exceptions and poorly-designed APIs.

If you work with old .NET Framework, then maybe I would agree. What kind of issues do you have in standard library or how they are only biting you? Nothing is perfect, but compared to other (popular) alternatives, C#/.NET is the best you can get today.
