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.

There are plenty of real issues that are not the enterprise stigma.

I built a backend web api this year with it and C# is fantastic. EF Core is truly one of the best ORMs I've ever used. That said, I regret that decision and won't be using it again for any new projects.

Honestly it looks like Microsoft is distracted and doesn't really know what to do with .NET. Everywhere you look there are tons of half baked projects like Blazor, Identity or Kiota and progress in .NET is super slow. It's probably going to get worse now with all the AI crap.

I'm the same. I'm both a Python and C# developer. I use Python for all my personal projects, and given the choice, for MOST projects I'll always pitch Python first, Django gives me the strengths of something like ASP .NET / EF Core, but without feeling like they're building more abandonware. I really love Blazor and heck even MAUI, but will they still be there in 10 years? Probably, will Microsoft have some new project that replaces them? probably.

Then there's Django. Rarely changes, only for the better. Upgrading Django versions is usually painless too. The ORM is fine enough.

It is ironic when companies like Microsoft and Google end up showing the sort of "permanent reimplentation" behaviour that used to be typical of opensource, whereas certain opensource projects persist seemingly forever. Python, Django, Emacs - these things will likely see the end of the galaxy; meanwhile, big companies now build and discard key projects every other year.
