.NET is alive and well in corporate environments. For web development I'd never choose it, however for Windows apps it's my goto. Visual Studio is great.

  Do you enjoy developing in .net or it is slow and cumbersome?

    I'm not a full time software developer so I'm probably just slow and cumbersome in general. I mainly program in vb.net for any kind of windows app I'm going to distribute for others to use. I also use python a lot for any kind of web scraping, back end automation type stuff. I enjoy working in Visual Studio, seems real good to me. Easy to find help if I need it.

      I've heard many times that it easier to trouble shoot error codes.

    It's not slow. Lambda expressions are especially awesome. The only thing I find slightly annoying is sometimes you're forced to define a class for an object. However, it can be helpful to define classes in terms of code maintainability with a large code base.

    C# is a beautiful language. I had to learn it for the job I took out of college, and I was resentful at first because I'm a hard 'nix guy, but eventually I came around to it.
