> Open .NET

> What would .NET look like without Visual Studio?

I am not sure what these people have been doing, but as someone who as been doing professional .NET development for the last two decades I have not used any Visual Studio at least since 2018. What is this headline trying to tell me?

> What use is an open-source programming language that can only be debugged with proprietary software?

Sorry, what?

> What would programming languages and a platform that didn’t have the Visual Studio baggage look like?

... what is "Visual Studio baggage"???

> What would .NET look like if it didn't lose that generation of brains back in 2006?

If anything, .NET had a Visual Studio lock-in back in those days, but not today ...

Sorry, I am really trying to understand the point here, but I just can't. Help? Also are we talking about .NET or "programming languages" here? Or both?
