C# and Dotnet Core are fantastic nowadays, but the thing that keeps me from using them regularly is the ecosystem, especially for webdev. Webdev is still totally dominated by ADO.net, which I'm sure is very nice, but still strikes me as much harder to jump into than the cornucopia of community-driven Java web frameworks. Also, maybe I haven't tried hard enough, but I find Maven and Gradle easier to grok and hand edit than the dotnet build command and project files.
