I still don't get why .NET barely ever gets mentioned in these threads. Even new or niche frameworks like Phoenix, loco.rs and others get mentioned, but almost never .NET. It's as "convention over configuration" as it gets.

People aren't just going to jump onto something recently open-sourced by a company that popularized the phrase "embrace, extend, extinguish". For the last decade, they've had to earn people's goodwill, while with a project like Rails, there is no "we used to be closed source but now we're not, use our thing!" to overcome. So in the 20 years since Rails has been released, it has only ever needed to demonstrate its usefulness.
Now that a decade has past, that negative association is starting to wash away a little.
