I’ve been a .Net developer since it launched, but recently I find myself using it less and less. I’m so much more productive with LLM assistance and they aren’t very good at C#. (Seriously, I thought AI coding was all exaggeration until I switched to Python and realized what the hype was all about, these language models are just so much more optimized for python)
Plus now Microsoft is being a bully when it comes to Cursor and the other VS Code forks, and won’t let the .net extensions work. I jumped through a lot of hoops but they keep finding ways to break it. I don’t want an adversarial relationship with my development stack.
I miss C# and I really don’t like Python as a language, but I don’t see myself doing a lot more C# in the future if these trends continue.
- epolanski 2y agoHave you given C# a new try with Cursor and newer models? There's a huge difference from Copilot in 2023, if that was your example. Also, interesting you feel more productive on a language you don't even like than your "main" one.
- seunosewa 2y agoYou can use VS Code and cursor at the same time. One to code and the other to compile the code. That's how I build for Android. I generate code in Cursor/Windsurf then I compile and deploy using Android Studio.
