Overall Satisfaction with .NET

.Net is our most widely used framework for building applications. Its ability to build applications for the web, desktop and even console/terminal-based apps makes it amazingly flexible. The C# language underpinning the framework is powerful and relatively easy to pick up. The frequent updates to the framework allow us to develop with the confidence that the necessary features and security updates will always be at the forefront. Microsoft's dedication to open source by open-sourcing .Net is a testament to the quality of code and products it seeks to support.

Compared to PHP, .Net has a far better-standardized framework from which to pick and choose libraries from. It is also a more mature language, even though PHP has been out a bit longer. The ability to create desktop apps using .Net is another benefit compared to PHP. If a very simple and quick turnaround is needed PHP (Laravel Framework) is an option, but overall we still prefer .Net

.Net is well suited for nearly any project you need. Thanks to the .Net Core CLI and Visual Studio / Visual Studio Code, you can get the initial scaffolding for any kind of project in seconds. The powerful debugging tools available allow you to work through problems easily. With a powerful language base, you can easily create reusable libraries that can span across web/mobile/desktop applications. If you're looking for a dynamically typed language or one with stronger multi-platform desktop support, then .Net might not be the best right now, but there are constant improvements being made.
