Other commenters have good specific points but I'll add one overarching theme: .NET is developed by a well-funded corporation that is incentivized to bring all the popular innovations from other ecosystems back to the .NET world in a cohesive form. If something becomes popular in another programming ecosystem and people want it, we'll get it in .NET and it'll be done in the same style as everything else we have. It's pretty refreshing working with a system that was designed to work together rather than cobbling bits together.
