It already has a significant enterprise presence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's considered legacy technology; poor performance, poor maintenance, poor security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fact that it allows us to keep our computer up to date to be able to carry out my software developments in a much more functional and simple way is something of great help to improve the performance of our applications in a much more comfortable way, its performance turns out to be something quite Well, during our use we did not have any problems regarding the operation of this application, on the contrary, its performance seemed most impressive and above all useful and practical, the security and stability that it has makes it an excellent option to carry out our developments in a much simpler and safer way, which in the end is quite convenient.

As it is oriented to Windows operating systems from the beginning, the fact that it is not available in Linux is a great limitation for many other programmers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When attempting to develop applications for our clients, .Net has been our faithful companion for the past few years. Through it, we've been able to fulfill all of our programming needs, from developing interactive webapps to dynamic websites. When it came to security features, .Net is easily one of the more secure programming frameworks as it is owned by Microsoft and backed up by 100s of thousands of developers. One of our latest projects was for a pharmaceutical warehouse where we connect all of their branches to a core database through an off the shelf point of sale system. We managed to do this with ease and had the support of the community when trying to resolve all of our issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As .NET is owned by Microsoft, the framework is strongly focused on the Windows OS. Recently Microsoft released .Net core to try and address the MacOS and Linux support. .Net can be costly if you look into bringing additional features on board (like team development infrastructure and add-ons) While it is easy to learn and pick up, optimization is a must for big projects, as the code can become resource draining if not optimized properly.

A comprehensive set of tools I can use in my software development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At least I always write in the same framework (.NET), and do not require to look up documentation to know how routine things are done. The inflexibility of those tools, if changes are required. Such that if I have to create a custom UI, I either use the existing set provided, or have to start one from scratch, with no middle ground such as the possibility of tweaking the source code of the existing controls, since no source code for the entire .NET 4.5 platform has ever been provided in any form.

For now, I didn't find anything. will share in case found any such thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
.NET 4.5 is easy to use with simplified code syntax, C# with upgraded, improved in memory maintenance (Garbage collection). Code minimize, and even more features for code security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much dislike, .NET 4.5 will not be suitable for lower version OS like Windows XP, so need to buy the latest OS and service packs to use this framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With .Net Framework 4.5 there are various new additions in BCL which includes DLR, MEF, Parallel Extension, Entity Framework, WCF Data Services and ability to host .NET 4.5 runtime with .NET 3.5, 3.0, 2.0 runtimes side by side under the same hosting process.

.NET uses the object-oriented programming (OOP) language model. This model is centered around objects rather than “actions” and data rather than logic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
.Net is one of the core platforms used by most big companies. It supports dominant programming languages like C#, C++, and VB.net. A key feature of .Net is the Common Language Runtime, allowing you to write code in different languages for the same project. .Net 4.5 also has a powerful garbage collection system that handles many tasks in the background. As a developer, I rarely worry about the garbage collector because it automatically frees memory occupied by objects no longer in use by the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
.Net is not entirely open source. The .Net framework has so many components that it becomes hard to tell what's new and what's old :( Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Microsoft .net has a mature framework and provides smaller footprint. It is also cross-platform. It is highly documented thus you can find numerous resources online. It is also easily extendable as it has rich features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Microsoft .net is highly complex and thus has complex integration with pre-compliers. It also provides limited control over HTML features to developers. Language choice can also be confusing at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Application Compatibility and Deployment is great in this release. we found the Core New Features and Improvements in this release. with Windows Communication Foundation we have created Services for BOT (RPA tools) and ran it with successfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
there is nothing to dislike in .net. I'm using this toll from 4 to 5 year, hence as a dot .net developer i never found it bad to work in any area. only the concern is that controls UI should be more attractive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
