I don't understand why the dotnet team doesn't invest more resources and time into tools: doctests and documentation generation, better and faster unit tests that I can write next to the actual code, easy access to the source code, no need to decompile a Dll to see it after pressing F12, a central place for packages and documentation like in pkg.go.dev or docs.rs . Most packages in nuget have no documentation at all, or only in readme format on GitHub, or a short Wiki on this page. Other environments like Rust, Golang, Java, Python are light years ahead when it comes to these aspects.

A part of me jokes that Micro$oft only invested in OpenAI because it's the only sensible way to browse .NET/Nuget package(s) documentation. The other part knows it's dreadfully true.

Small F# community have https://fsprojects.github.io/FSharp.Formatting/ that is a lot better than docfx, it has markdown support, notebook suport, script output embedding.

C# has nothing like that, xml comments and raw documentation that has no value
