For us, every .NET upgrade since .NET 5 has gone surprisingly smoothly and reduced CPU/RAM usage by 10–15%.

We were even able to downgrade our cloud servers to smaller instances, literally.

I wish .NET was more popular among startups, if only C# could get rid of the "enterpisey" stigma.

I tried .NET and liked C# as a language. But even though the language and runtime are now open source, it seemed like a lot of the recommended libraries were still commercially licensed, which was an immediate nope from me. I've never encountered that in any other ecosystem.

Easy to avoid depending on the area; I'd urge you not to be discouraged by the presence of commercial libraries. They aren't as vital as it may seem from the outside. I've been a full-time C# developer since the first open beta and I have only one (1) instance where I used a commercial library. That was 2002 and if we were doing it today, we wouldn't have needed that commercial library. I have never used a commercial C# library other than that one time. We have a tremendous supply of open source libraries in NuGet, just like every other language, and much more functionality built into the standard library than most languages have. We just also have commercial UI libraries and such. That commercial library we used was a docking/tabbing UI library; you can get that from open source packages now (and my later projects do).

So you used C# without any of the .Net runtime? I don't think Microsoft did open source in 2002...

Even Mono was only started in 2004.

Come on, it's clear he meant "commercial libraries not in the default Microsoft SDK".

Wix was open sourced in 2004 - https://www.computerworld.com/article/1580079/microsoft-goes...
