"A Truly Unified Platform: Build Web, Desktop, Mobile, Cloud, and More with .NET"
What do you like best about .NET?

With .NET 5+ and .NET 6/7/8, the platform became truly unified.

You can build:

Web apps (ASP.NET Core)

APIs

Desktop apps (WPF, WinForms, .NET MAUI)

Mobile apps (Android, iOS via MAUI/Xamarin)

Cloud-native microservices

IoT apps

Game development (Unity)

All using one language family (C# / F# / VB), one runtime, one BCL.

That makes learning and scaling super efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about .NET?

Even today, there are leftover complexities such as:

.NET Framework (legacy, Windows-only)

.NET (Core/5/6/7/8 — the unified version)

.NET Standard (compatibility layer that confuses newcomers) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
