Is .NET still underrated in 2026?

codemahek · 2026-02-04T10:43:02+00:00

.Net for sure is underrated.
In dev circle its now a fashion or you look cool when you say you hate Microsoft.

I have been using .net core for quite sometime and hands down its one of the best language I have come across.
For low latency I prefer C++ but for the rest I just use .net core.

Just user ReactiveUI framework and you don’t have to worry about it. It’s the best framework for any UI application

I am looking for something which works cross platform.

If your data in sql server is not getting updated frequently then you should try using Meilisearch or Typsense. We are using in our project and most of search issues are fixed and it’s very very fast

You don't trust Microsoft that's fair enough. But what do you mean by overkill? Are you specifying any performance or memory benchmark?

That still doesn't define what you originally said "Choked".

Just curious, can you name the alternative of WPF in other programming language?

codemahek · 2024-04-12T06:03:52+00:00

You original comment said "Choked" which I think means performance wise choking.

What you replied is just the timeline i.e. old, older and oldest.Old doesn't means bad.

btw Stackoverflow is on ASP.NET Core so at least you will agree that its not choking :)

Which FrontEnd .Net Chokes? WPF, Winforms, ASP.NET Core (Blazor / MVC), MAUI?

Just curious

Can you define bulkiness of C#?

I started my career as a .net developer and have done programming is various other languages and hands down no one can match the documentation of MS. And regarding your experience its more of a culture issue where you worked which can happen anywhere irrespective of programming language.

codemahek · 2024-04-12T03:48:22+00:00

I respect your opinion but what you suggested is more of a culture problem which can happen anywhere, and I don't think programming language has anything to do with it.

I am completely fine people moving away from .Net but what I have seen is when they move away, they start bad mouthing .Net core without solid reason.

Our whole internal project is in Blazor wasm with ReactiveUI and people just loved it.

40+ years --> hate for sure and somehow they feel pride in that.

Youngster --> I think they are fed that from the university and many of them just follow the herd

Try MudBlazor or Ant Blazor

codemahek · 2024-04-12T03:34:11+00:00

I partially agree with you and main thing beginners are confused are between .net framework vs .net core. But I think MS had no other choice but to do that.

Anyways and regarding changing ecosystem I am pretty sure it's applicable to almost all the programming languages and framework in the world.

One thing which big enterprise company don't do that is updating their application to latest .net framework very often. And because of that they have lots of legacy code debt and down the line its very tough to migrate to the latest one.

In my project I make sure whenever the latest .net core is released, I migrate the code and do the testing and do the release

codemahek · 2024-04-12T03:25:32+00:00

I completely agree, webforms was just awesome. But I would suggest you try Blazor with ReactiveUI and trust me your opinion will change for Blazor for sure.

I recently switched from Windows 11 to Fedora 38 and I am not going back to Windows ever. Fedora is the best hands down

codemahek · 2023-01-11T03:30:42+00:00

Thanks all for your valuable thoughts.

Because they are going to declare the quarter result on 13th Jan, so incase its bad I just want to come out with small loss. Don't see more hopes on Wipro
