Our team mostly works with Windows machines, PowerShell and the Microsoft environment, hence the .NET platform is a great extension for us to have. Microsoft invests a lot into their ecosystem with M365, Graph API and Azure cloud based offerings. We find it very useful and handy to integrate the MS products with .NET and use it for web and desktop app development.
