Isn't it because it was tied to Windows? My impression still is that the ecosystem is not as well supported outside of Windows.
Similar problem with Swift even though it started out as an open source project. The ties to Apple OSes are hard to break and ignore.
- easton 3y agoLinux support is pretty good now. We only run it on Linux at work for web apps, works just as well as Node or whatever.
- barumrho 3y agoHow about things like IDE and related development tools? Same level of support on Linux?
- ImPleadThe5th 3y agoRider (from JetBrains) is basically the go to IDE for most .net/c# devs I've met professionally. VisualStudio has come a long way but Rider is just chefs kiss. And it is available on all platforms. It used to use IIS express to run its applications locally (it has meh cross platform support) now it by default uses docker when bootstrapping a new application. I've only ever developed for it on windows and very minimally on Linux, but I did not feel that the experience was worse on Linux.

- ImPleadThe5th 3y agoUnfortunately the perception remains, but its been platform agnostic since like 2016. I think it deserves some of the hate it gets for its previous state, but it is really a pleasure to work with these days. My current job is a kotlin shop and I miss .net/c# a lot.
