Exactly! Microsoft has basically been stifling .NET adoption across platforms. The community reception was really poor when they took away live reload from the CLI, and it was equally bad when they restricted debugging functionality to only the Visual Studio of family products. These things have contributed to fairly limited adoption of .NET outside of the Microsoft ecosystem. What's crazy is that in .NET's case, Microsoft has it a lot more "free" because the community is willing to go great lengths to just do it themselves. Like for example, the entire Mono ecosystem: MonoDevelop, Xamarin, Unity, etc. has proven quite successful. Now that Roslyn is open source, it should easily overtake Mono... but it hasn't really. .NET is basically a cautionary tale. It's pretty amusing that the same company that made TypeScript and VSCode popular across platforms is having strategic trouble doing the same for their wildly sought after CLR/.NET ecosystem.
