I transitioned from Node to dotnet for backend last year and it's been great for APIs. Love C#. Performance is fantastic. The framework and tooling are very mature (with exceptions like hot reload ugh). Entity Framework is amazing, by far the best ORM I've ever used. I don't feel like an expert by any means but I'm productive. Some days I do hit some stuff that takes me longer that I would've hoped but I've been able to solve everything I've faced. I only use it for APIs though. The fullstack stuff is not great. Maybe if Microsoft improved hot-reload I would consider Razor with a Vite setup. Blazor is just useless for me. It's very cool from a technical standpoint but your frontend is 10x slower and more bloated than the worst JS solution you can think of. I connect my JS frontend layer with OpenAPI[1]. It's been ok but the whole OpenAPI experience is not as smooth as I had hoped. [1] https://openapi-ts.dev/ https://openapi-ts.dev/
