Microsoft is not perfect. .NET is a great… thing, but what exactly is it? It's evolving rapidly, but explaining .NET, .NET Framework, .NET Core, and again .NET to someone who is not in the context could create even more confusion. Its set of tools is truly impressive, but you will most likely discover a large portion of its capabilities from random articles on the internet or videos on YouTube. The official documentation has probably already crossed the point of no return, making it impossible to refactor and reorganize it without going insane.
And yet, sometimes the stars converge, and we get something as impressive as SignalR, also made by Microsoft: powerful, simple, and intuitive. What is SignalR? It's a library that makes the need to work directly with Websockets in ASP.NET almost redundant.
