It's really, really sad the lack of good information people have about just how amazing .NET 6 is. Microsoft needs to jettison the cruft and the legacy; .NET is bigger than just corporations now. There's a huge open-source ecosystem. Places like the C# Discord server (with 24k+ members) exist. .NET is bigger than Microsoft in some ways. The recent kerfuffle with the .NET Foundation shows that. Please, Microsoft: invest in marketing, especially to corporations who don't know anything about the tech stacks they use. They need help understanding why .NET 6 is so amazing and why .NET is no longer .NET Framework + ASP.NET Web Forms + IIS.

This whole release was very smooth with nice features and nice performance improvements. But the amount of (mostly wrong) negative articles and comments is amazing. It was not like that with .NET 5 and before. HN community grew more hostile to .NET in the last year. Do not know why. Maybe the anti Microsoft sentiment grew the last months again. While being negative press, this article is for the most part right.

  > But the amount of (mostly wrong) negative articles and comments is amazing. It was not like that with .NET 5 and before. Well, because MS didn't screw that (5.0, I don't know about Core 3, haven't been a .Net user at that time) release up. The Net devs inside of MS also didn't, well, appreciate these actions. But what would be an example of a wrong negative article or comment about 6?

    No .NET Core release was a screw up. 1.x was rough but we were happy about the open source part. Nothing on .NET 6 is a screw up. So there is no change regards .NET but the mood changed. Sorry about the wrong articles ... I broke edit that. I was just disappointed by the commentary.
