Just look at VS 2017. A rushed IDE that has all sorts of weird quirks and bugs, non-backwards compatible with VS15 extensions, and now you have to actually create a MS 'insider' account and go through some broken web pages to get the VS15 download. Microsoft is abandoning their software just as fast as JS does now. For something that is built for actual desktops and servers that will run for years and most likely does not have a maintenance team, I think thats dangerous. Now we take in .net core, which has changing standards and incompatible build files between various versions it has released. To even get .net core V2 you've gotta go to their github releases and grab a beta build. By having VS15 and VS17 with .netcore 2, my toolchain broke and couldn't even compile any modern .net core projects, requiring full wipe of VS. Combine that with working on projects that could be written for .net framework, .net standard, or mono, and you've got one big ball of mud that nobody wants to touch. Maybe in 5 years if things standardize and multi-platformability becomes a real goal of MS, but right now, its easier and more stable to make multi-platform applications with electron than C#. Or just C++ and QT, or really any other language that doesn't have 4 different runtime versions.
