.NET vs OSGi: What are the differences?
Developers describe .NET as "A free, cross-platform, open source developer platform for building many different types of applications". .NET is a general purpose development platform. With .NET, you can use multiple languages, editors, and libraries to build native applications for web, mobile, desktop, gaming, and IoT for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and more. On the other hand, OSGi is detailed as "The Dynamic Module System for Java". It is a Java framework for developing and deploying modular software programs and libraries. It provides a vendor-independent, standards-based approach to modularizing Java software applications and infrastructure.
.NET and OSGi can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
.NET is an open source tool with 11.4K GitHub stars and 2.48K GitHub forks. Here's a link to .NET's open source repository on GitHub.
Stack Exchange, Microsoft, and Starbucks are some of the popular companies that use .NET, whereas OSGi is used by Liferay, Netcentric, and Enonic AS. .NET has a broader approval, being mentioned in 2009 company stacks & 1588 developers stacks; compared to OSGi, which is listed in 7 company stacks and 9 developer stacks.
Decided to change all my stack to microsoft technologies for they behave just great together. It is very easy to set up and deploy projects using visual studio and azure. Visual studio is also an amazing IDE, if not the best, when used for C#, it allows you to work in every aspect of your software.
Visual studio templates for ASP.NET MVC are the best I've found compared to django, rails, laravel, and others.
