I can report that Azure Function App development is at least pretty decent, as long as you have the paid Visual Studio IDE and Azure Function Tools (haven't tried the free version yet).

I tried AWS Lambdas a few years back and it felt way more primitive.

Azure Function App development experience is indeed pretty nice at least when using .NET Core. There are some issues, like loading secrets to the local dev environment from Key Vault has to be done manually and easy auth (App Service Authentication) does not work locally.

I use JetBrains Rider, rather than Visual Studio, and the dev experience is excellent, just the same as with VS.
