Yea that's why I write all my programs in C using the win32 APIs. It has a lifetime even longer than .NET Framework 4.8.1! I'll never have to change or adapt to new things. /s

I change things if it’s necessary, not for the sake of using the newest version.

Now I have to update software and all its dependencies without a real benefit.

It’s equivalent of buying a new PC because MS tries to force Windows 11.

Lets waste lots of time and resources for nothing.

  • Just the amount of perf improvements they have added since .NET 4.8, year after year, is staggering.

  • Having written .NET 5+ apps, and now being back to maintaining a 4.8 app...

    There's a lot of quality of life features of the later versions of C# that we're missing out on. My code was a LOT more streamlined in my .NET 9 app.
