As for identity, you sound really silly when you consider it is literally built-in to ASP .NET itself, and can be expanded upon to your hearts desire, plus there's no shortage of available identity management libraries in C#.
As for source code repository, I'm not sure what you mean, but for years Microsoft hosted CodePlex which was essentially GitHub for C# projects. Visual Studio and C# projects are typically hosted on Git, I would be shocked if there's no web UI for git in C#, there's definitely plenty of applications for git in .NET
I'm not even going to comment on business intelligence, now you're just being very lazy. You're telling me Microsoft has 0 BI tooling and SDKs? Come on.
As for a linter, you are either trolling, or just blindly hate Microsoft for no rhyme or reason, there's more than enough linters, especially the best one of all, ReSharper, which is integrated into Rider which is a cross-platform IDE. There's also MonoDevelop, SharpDevelop, etc
I literally spent a few weeks ago porting a .NET 3.5 app I hadn't touched in years, to .NET 8 from Ubuntu Linux, and got it running, in under 30 minutes in Project Rider.
Also nearly forgot. Netflix's original web UI was Silverlight, which is C# / .NET back when it was at its peak for its time.
Ok, that actually sounds interesting. Still haven't heard of anyone using it, and closed-source makes it a non-starter, but I'm vaguely interested. Even then though, sounds like their client libraries are only .NET?

Sure there is plenty of support for it within the platform. My point is no-one's writing their organisational SSO system in C#, unless they're already bought into the Windows stack.

I mean the equivalent of Bitbucket Server or GitLab, the thing you'd run to host your own source repos internally.

No, I'm saying that what they have is all locked into the MS/Windows parallel world stack. There's nothing that a company that isn't committed to them would use.

There are plenty of linters for C#, sure. But no-one would write a general linter in it. It was an example that came to mind because that was how Facebook first started adopting OCaml - a linter is a small standalone tool, so it's an ok place to experiment with a new technology stack.

Worked out pretty well to be fair, their old UI actually worked perfectly on Linux via Moonlight. Moonlight was more usable than Flash on Linux which was an unstable mess.

Except ReSharper lints for other things too.

That was CodePlex, there's also Azure DevOps? Which does all the things BitBucket and GitLab do and probably more? It is arguably poorly named in my view, since I've heard managers confuse "DevOps" and "Azure DevOps" by using the term interchangeably.
Up to a point - it lints the things you might need in a C# application. But it's very much a tool for the MS/Windows/C# vertical - even using it in Rider isn't really their focus. If JetBrains was building the linter they used for all IDEA-family IDEs in C#, that would be interesting.

Right, that's the kind of thing I'm talking about. Is anyone using that who's not already bought into MS/Windows/C#, is that a market they sell to at all? Can you even run it on anything other than Windows? It sounds like not, which rather proves the point.
"microsoft didn't really care much about building a community or getting it to work natively in other OSes/toolchains" still rings true IMO. C# has some great stuff if you're fully onboard with the MS stack, but they've taken at most baby steps towards fitting into other environments. (If anything it feels like they expect the rest of the world to fit in with them - if you want to bring e.g. Postgres into your MS/Windows/C# world that's relatively well supported, but going the other direction is much less so)
Rider has the same analyzers as ReSharper, likely more (I haven't touched the latter in ages).
Moreover, the ecosystem mainly gravitates to Roslyn analyzers which run within build system and, naturally, integrate with Roslyn LSP. They work regardless of IDE or text editor you choose.
In fact, quite a lot of them come out of box, with the basic set enabled by default to prevent you from obvious mistakes, automatically fixing code to use terser syntax or avoiding footguns when using low-level APIs where applicable, and a lot more opt-in for a specific scenario or a workload.

RavenDB, which can be run in a cluster, and uses less CPU (and I've read memory) than MongoDB itself.
There's also a recent C# based redis drop-in replacement that outperforms redis.
