Microsoft employee here. We were "urged" to use .NET 6 last year when starting a new project internally and the transition has been quite hard. The learning curve is extremely steep. It took us almost two weeks to work out some basics because the online documentation, a lot of open source projects and what the latest .NET templates look like are very different. The team spends a lot of time figuring out how something is done in .NET and we stumble over a lot of online advice which is dated or plain wrong because it dates back to .NET Framework or .NET Core times. .NET 6 seems to be different to .NET Framework and different to .NET Core in the way it handles even simple things like namespaces, using declarations and other language features. Maybe when we get good at it we will like it but so far it's been quite a journey and I'm not sure we would choose it again if we didn't have to.
