I agree with you, almost all .NET code I write is within the .NET framework, yet when I look at C# repos, it's disheartening to see so many (new) projects just NuGet this NuGet that.

We have text.json now but I still see people use Newtonsoft JSON.

There's old repo's out there that should be archived and deprecated, yet I see new games use it when the repo is very questionable with automated whitespace or comment commits to keep up the appearance that it is still being maintained[0].

Right now I'm working on a Golang project and the dependency tree is a nightmare to say the least, I hope to be able to rip out the parts I don't need and compile it without the massive bulk that I do not need.

It's very frustrating to want me to trust the author, who trust the author, who trust the author. When I doubt they even audited or looked at what they imported.
