I've actually found C# quite pleasant to develop with, so long as I didn't have to worry about targeting non-Windows platforms.
It's fully cross platform with .NET Core and later.
What does fully cross platform mean? It sounds very vague and a lot like an exaggeration.
The standard .NET C# compiler and CLI run on and build for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. You can run your ASP.NET webapps in a Linux docker container, or write console apps and run them on Linux, it doesn't matter anymore. As a .NET dev I have literally no reason to ever touch Windows, unless I'm touching legacy code from before .NET Core or building a Windows-exclusive app using a Windows app framework.
