the new slim SDK style csproj and the dotnet command replacement (maybe wrapper) for msbuild are great addition to come with .NET Core a while back. I think MSBuild and nuget are great compared to my experiences with linux rpm libwhatever or npm. I have worked on some moderately sized code bases (10s not 100s of projects in a solutions) and compile times stayed fairly reasonable.

I think the big downside is that the industry still thinks of .NET as stuck in .NET 2.0 or something, from my casual browsing that .NET is a skill not C#. Regardless, I'm getting kind of excited for .NET 6 on official release, and doing the migration of all our apps off framework to the latest and getting some getting the new lang version.

I would also be excited, unfortunely in what concerns Web development we never do everything from scratch, rather build on top of Sitecore, SharePoint, Dynamics, while destop stuff always ends up having some 3rd party commercial components like Telerik, ComponentOne, Office or VS Plugins,...

I don't know if by we you mean us C# users or the people you work with.

If it is the former I can say that I never ever built on top of Sitecore or SharePoint. Recently only Asp.NET Core or whatever it is called now.
