Currently working in the world of TypeScript/Node/JavaScript there's so much stuff I miss from .NET.
* Awesome standard library - very little need to install packages from randos on the internet
* LINQ makes performing complicated work with collections simple and readable
* Great async model for work that needs to be done in parallel or scheduled
Was also impressed at how much stuff they managed to add to it over the years:
* Generics
* Now runs just about anywhere: Windows/Linux/macOS/mobile
* Null reference types largely gets rid of the endless 'Object not set to instance of ...' errors
* Now supports some form of immutable data types (records)
Frankly most of the complaints I'm reading about here come from the companies that choose to use the technology rather than the tech itself.
