.Net OSS looks more and more like a failure, while fans will incessantly reiterate it’s technically OSS it’s certainly not spiritually and if anything it’s regressed in the last 2-3 years.
The bigger project I know of follow a similar model of open core + support and I would not bat an eye if they did the same. The remaining ecosystem seems to be convenience over whatever MS is doing and IO adapters.
At this stage it’s just another nail in the coffin and I’d be wary of picking up anything other than MS packages if using .Net.
I also wonder if eroding confidence will start snowballing and bring .Net back to framework days in practice.
I find it interesting that bringing up .NET on HN manages to occasionally evoke incredibly poor quality replies like yours in a way that does not happen on Reddit. In fact, it seems to have better quality discourse which keeps surprising me. But if cheap jabs is what you're after - keep commenting.
