Well the fact that it was available solely on Windows for so long was its doom.
Actually I thought of using C# a few months ago, and I was like "Oh wait, does it even work on other platforms than Windows now?". Sure I'm not a C# developer, so I'm not up to date on C# news, but that's an issue if your goal is to drive adoption. Everyone that has heard of C# should know that it's now cross-platform.
- cesarb 4y agoSome things still seem to be Windows specific. If I want offline documentation (of the sort one can find at /usr/share/javadoc/java or /usr/share/doc/rust/html by installing the correct packages), every place I look tell me how to enable offline help in Visual Studio (for instance, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/teamblog/offline-book-refresh-feb-2018 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/teamblog/offline-book-refr...). Someone here told me last time that there's a way to download whole sections of the MSDN documentation as PDF, which helps, but it's not the same thing.
- Kwpolska 4y agoOff-line documentation being kind of a pain sounds like a very minor thing. Other than that, and other than the obviously Windows-specific GUI and system management libraries, the rest of C#/.NET is pretty much fully multi-platform, maybe except a few obscure things.
