".Net: Powerful and Versatile for Cross-Platform Development"
What do you like best about .NET?

.Net is a comprehensive programming model that supports a variety of environments, including web, desktop, mobile, and cloud applications. It is also quite powerful for cross-platform development, working well on both Windows, Linux and Mac. It has a very rich eco system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about .NET?

Migrating from a legacy .NET Framework to the latest version can be somewhat tedious because of compatibility issues. Maintaining the environment also presents its own set of challenges. Additionally, support for certain Windows native APIs remains limited across different platforms. The Microsoft ecosystem will be little expensive to setup initially.

"Reliable Framework for Cross-Platform Apps"
What do you like best about .NET?

I used to develop mobile apps with Xamarin, and overall it was a solid experience . What I appreciated the most was being able to share most of my C# code between Android and IOS - it made maintaining apps much easier. The integration with Visual Studio was smooth, and performance felt close to native once everything was properly configured.

For developers familiar with C#, Xamarin is a reliable option for building native apps without switching to Swift or Kotlin. However, for new projects, .NET MAUI is now the recommended path as it's more modern and future proof.

.NET has excellent support and also has extensive documentation, tutorials, and official libraries, which makes troubleshooting and learning much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about .NET?

Setting up the environment, especially for IOS builds could be a bit of a headache at first, and Xamarin.Forms sometimes needed extra tuning to get the UI consistent across platforms. Once I got used to its workflow, development was fairly efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I just love a powerful and reliable framework for building scalable applications."
What do you like best about .NET?

The text is already in English. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about .NET?

The main downside of .NET is its relatively steep learning curve for beginners compared to lightweight frameworks. Also, the build size for .NET applications can be quite large, and performance tuning sometimes requires deep configuration. Licensing and version compatibility between older .NET Framework and newer .NET versions can occasionally cause integration headaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Development using .NET"
What do you like best about .NET?

It is a powerful platform used for building applications. .NET also has diverse frameworks which supports multiple functionalities. It also has support for multiple languages and has strong documentation. It is thus simple to develop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about .NET?

Some setup can feel heavy as a beginner. Also the dependency management can be complex for beginners but once you get a hold of it, the experience is very smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Cross-Platform App Development with a Unified Framework"
What do you like best about .NET?

This platform stands out for its cross-platform capabilities and unified framework. It offers much more than just a single function, providing a wide range of features. With it, you can develop mobile apps for both Android and iOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about .NET?

There is still some confusion for me regarding the differences between .NET Framework, which is the older, Windows-only version, .NET Core, which is cross-platform, and the newer unified versions like .NET 5, 6, 7, and 8. Additionally, I have noticed that the startup, especially the cold start, tends to be slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
