The big change is cultural. The places I've seen using .NET felt like cults to me, a monoculture were everyone must run windows, swearing by how powershell is the shell of the gods, ms sql being the only true data store that's the best solution for 100% of every use cases, azure being the best cloud provider, and everyone forced to use vs code because of all its fancy integration with even the pm tools.


What are the mythical .NET cults which swear by Windows, PowerShell and MSSQL you speak of? Every other ".NET shop" I know nowadays deploys to Linux hosts/container images hosted wherever and develops on a variety of systems where the OS of choice has become mostly a non-factor.
