Out of curiosity, why do you use .NET? (Assuming you use Mac/AWS/etc because you like them)

Not the person you asked but I also develop .NET Core on a mac. I like .NET because I can use C# which is my favourite language, and the new ASP.NET Core framework is very clean, modern and straight to the point. There's very little magic and it's performant and productive.

Dapper for data access is also fantastic for the same reasons.

For me, it's because I love C# (and F#, which I'm still learning).

Because C# is awesome. The most intuitive OO language I have ever used.
