I've been in the rodeo for 20 years now. I started as a Jr dev in a Microsoft based software company that had some kind of M$ certification which gave us all the MSDN CDs. I was the first C# .Net programmer when I joined as C# had just been introduced and I loved learning it at uni as an alternative to ugly Java.
The two things that "bit" me all these years is that, all "free" stuff given by Microsoft was just "hooks" to claw you into their expensive and closed ecosystem .
As someone said, there may be some misconceptions from legacy behaviour that is no longer true, but I fear that the only "first class" citizen CLR and tooling for .NET lives in windows. Suddenly you need IIS and sqlserver windows and all the expensive stack.
OTOH I think as a language C# is pretty neat and CLR is great tech as well, but I wouldnt dare to use it on production in a Linux system
