Per the last versions of .net vs .net core that I worked with (4.....6.2(?) and .net core who even knows), I definitely agree with the frustrations. That's a major reason why, when I answered the top question, I was responding in a way to reference a new developer. I don't think they should be required to think of all of that hell, so I just wanted to point them to a particular library and to just live with it until they're asking the hard questions and have to move to something more complicated. For beginner-beginners, that shouldn't happen for a while. Someone higher up said that this post should have been titled something like .NET for Professional Beginners, developers that already have a lot of experience and are wanting to develop a single, specific, advanced usecase, or a use case where they are required to work with .net core, it was like that. I ran into something similar at my present job, trying to set up a webserver in Kotlin. It reminds me a lot of the woes I have with .net core with the numerous, almost adjacent, but not quite in the same package gradle packages. At this point, I'm not sure there's very many batteries fully included languages left. C# was kinda the last bastion of it. Elsewhere someone, maybe you?, referenced PHP, but even that isn't batteries included. The only batteries included are the ones that PHP is good at, webservices. Python is all about packages, and it just went through async hell, where the syntax for async changed over and over again over each version, so Google searching, as you mentioned struggling with in other threads, can be painful there, as well. Ruby requires you to learn Rails (which isn't Ruby! it's written in Ruby but not part of the base framework!) ... I guess Go is probably the closest to general purpose with its default framework.
