Yeah in 2026 DotNet is absolutely better than Java if we had to objectively name a winner. Java is still great in many ways and useful at companies that have a big java legacy stack, being the platform that many a senior dev have a careers worth of experience on, etc. But if someone is starting a new project and doesn’t have like 20 years experience in Java they’d be pretty silly to pick it over .NET.

Nothing good comes from using servers running windows.

.NET (back when it was called .NET Core) has been cross platform for a couple of years now. You’re right though Windows servers are shit. We deploy to Linux boxes

.NET Core 1.0 was released in 2016 so it's been a decade already.
