.NET is a solid platform. Great for general purpose applications programs, and line of business programs, and other sorts of database front ends, and games too. C# is a decent solid language, but I'm very much moreso impressed by F#.

(Not dissing JVM, I also think highly of that too and the many languages supported in that ecosystem.)

I use .NET and F# on my Mac, with Visual Studio for Mac. I highly recommend The Book of F# by Dave Fancher, as a fun introductory tutorial.

A .NET related technology that is incredibly impressive is WPF. Best in breed technology in that space.
