The only time they do anything truly beneficial is when the EU makes them.

Except when they make programming languages

I mean sure, c# is better than java, but c# also makes you dependant on MS and all their shenanigans. Java is free of such burdens. Oracle sure is a dependency, but you’re free pick another vendor or fork your own.

Of course they prioritise Windows and Azure, but still, .NET works on Linux well, and it’s licensed under MIT, so you’re allowed to fork too.

But on the other hand I won’t waste my time defending Microsoft here, because they have people for doing it.

They also created TypeScript which is a huge improvement over js imo. And with C# you can use Mono, so you really aren’t locked into MS automatically.

Plus, they made VS Code free. I hate MS but they do make solid tools for developers.
