1) Not true. The bifurcation is between tech companies and non tech ones. Tech companies tend to not to use an MS stack. Non tech companies overwhelmingly do. I worked for an high tech engineering company in the Fortune 250 and it was an MS shop. I looked at other Fortune 250s and they were the same.

MS stacks tend to get used in companies where the final product is not software, but things and services.

2) Also not true. MS dev tools today are far better than they used to be and C# is a pleasure to write in.

That said Azure still has complexity and reliability issues. It’s getting better but I executed a one year long project on it recently and it was difficult getting permissions right plus there was a lot of unexpected complexity working with App Services.
