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.

In all their docs they now have links directly to the source for the method you are looking at, for example https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.string.s...

As for source for nuget packages, it's easy to enable source link to make that happen too, it's just that this is all pretty new so not every package is doing it.
