It's a good language, better and safer than C/C++. However, Microsoft has messed it up in multiple ways: - It was great for Windows desktop applications, then they came out with Silverlight which then got abandoned. - It has its own version of DLL hell. Users almost always need to download the .NET runtime. Windows 10 originally shipped without the most popular version, which made the runtime the most popular download. - MS could not come up with a consistent naming and numbering conventions for their versions, Core, Framework and now just .NET - Visual Studio Code doesn't properly support it, yes there are plugins, but to do anything useful you need Visual Studio proper.
