> If you mean visual studio for dotnet and it is comparably piece of crap. A lot of unexplained behavior and it generally feels like someone just wanted to check boxes.
I disagree. dotnet has it's quirks, but so does every mature ecosystem. I wouldn't use "piece of crap" to describe it (or java) and I get that it's an opinion, but I think your opinion is more misguided than what yo're accusing other people of believing.
> Kotlin is a pure pleasure against C#.
My last project was a kotlin backend powering a C+ desktop app. The kotlin backend took longer to compile than the C++ did. Kotlin is the kitchen sink bolted onto Java. It's definitely a nice environment to work in, but it's certainly not a more streamlined java.
> That there is competition is a good thing, it is not like you was locked in one.
If by competition you mean OpenJDK forks with minor differences then yes there's competition. To me that's not competition, that's fragmentation.
