I'm old generation and almost forgot for a while. GitHub was good even on their hands at the beginning, C# is amazing, TypeScript is amazing, wsl2 is game changer (which includes the change in Microsoft's position about linux), vscode is amazing, microsoft great increase in presence on opensource was nice (rushstack for example), etc...

But well, they still have the garbage side, which seems to be spreading again.

I second the C# praise: we have a few teams building software with C# and having to debug it here and there, it is very modern, compiles cross-platform and has lots of functionality already built-in and from the release notes I read from time to time, the people behind it know what they are doing.

I used to work at a C# firm and we always called it "Microsoft Java", but that's such an insult. C# is way better, I've really enjoyed writing in it.

And it actually has pretty good interop with C++/CLI, too.
