To summarize: .NET, the entire platform and language and ecosystem and everything, should be completely and utterly avoided because: - the ability for the open-source extension to, at the user's option, additionally interface with existing closed-source tools (in a non-license-affecting way), was added - they wanted to limit hot-reload in .NET 6 because of quality issues (but reverted after people disagreed) - Microsoft's debugger isn't open-source (even though there still is a popular open-source one) - a clerical error resulted in all the repos the .NET foundation were administrating getting moved to the .NET foundation's GitHub, including ones that weren't supposed to (which, being incredibly obviously a mistake, was instantly reverted) If you call these things 'showing their hand', I would call that motivated reasoning. I consider it impressive that a site dedicated to collating all the idiotic drama in order to smear the participants, can only find four examples, despite targeting literally Microsoft. By comparison if you started trying to collate the community drama for Rust or Golang (or god forbid Java) you'd be at it all day. Please stop linking this website.

- the ability to embrace, extend and extinguish the open source C# development solution, in the most obvious of ways - they wanted to disadvantage open source users because of their proprietary solution - they gatekeep the debugger while pretending it's an open source ecosystem - several "clerical errors" demonstrating a pattern of undermining an open ecosystem Yes, except for your charitable wording of a company's hostile "interpretation" of an open community, those are the reasons why it should be avoided.
