Are we talking classic asp or core? The former is dog shit while the latter is quiet nice.

classic! I hear most of the core stuff is actually pretty decent, but I haven't worked in the MS ecosystem for a while.

Package number is not enough. For example, .NET’s BCL is probably the largest of all the languages you shown where the other ecosystems would have to provide what it covers.

Sure, and .NET has a lot of Windows-specific stuff that's hard to find elsewhere. Is the same true for Ruby though? I don't think it is.

I don't think what you are saying holds. For instance, 32k [0] is just where intersection of both .NET frameworkd (Win only) and .NET Core (cross plat). If you want to see in total, this is a rough estimation, 634k APIs [1]. I don't know how much of that is .NET core only.

You should really try ASP NET 6. I won't try to sell you on anything and let the framework speak for itself.
