Why does Microsoft get labeled like this while Apple, one of the most brutally closed off companies, is loved by developers?
Microsoft is very responsive on GitHub issues I have filed, and I have benefited a lot from their open source offerings, namely VS Code and F#.

Because people are still living in the 90s and even the best developers just love to gobble up Apple's propaganda bullshit.

#6I love C#, had a job doing it on Mono and really enjoyed working on it, but never trusted to work on anything personal with it, in order to avoid being stuck depending on Microsoft since they bought Xamarin, and I resisted even when they published ASP.Net Core on github, really think that microsoft is un-trustable

Apple is shit too, that's just a separate conversation.

#8Such a great, pragmatic, versatile programming language (C#), having a great FP side-kick (F#) that can be used next to it, and years of corporate experience and a great ecosystem of closed and open-source libraries, 3rd party tooling that really brings the experience to another level (LINQPad, Rider, Resharper)...
.NET could stay closed source and everyone would happily keep using it, of course with very limited open-source adoption. Now they are being "shady" (For the lack of a better word, English is not my mother tongue. I'm not trying to be hostile to many good people working at Microsoft but this is how the signals the whole organization gives are interpreted. I hugely respect your work still), and that is putting doubts in the minds of their hardcore followers.

Nope. They're focusing their effort on merging the code bases needed to support VS and VSCode's C#.
