This is something ive noticed at my own job. They decided to create this flagship product using a completely exprimental Microsoft stack. How experimental? No intellisense support on the pages, no live/auto reload, no linters/parsers for 50% of the code base, json files everywhere. Just a complete mess. Now im just getting frustrated, because the linters say one thing, and then the code base blows up. But more importantly, this comes off as a massive case of complete overkill. What was wrong with a REST API and divorced front end? You know, the industry standard since 10 years ago. But no, lets go and reinvent the wheel with some insane product line.

I once interviewed with Microsoft, and they were laughing at the fact someone was using this product line in a production setting. Like they thought i had just said a bad joke or something.

From what i can tell im seeing a large exodus away from MS anything. Ive seen more positions for React, Angular, Java, Kotlin and Typescript. It got so bad, i eventually moved my .Net skills to API only with React and Angular on the front end. This is what i think prompted the assimilation of WSL 1/2 into Microsoft's OS.
