Maybe they should use terms like "goodlist" and "badlist".
Or "herolist" and "villainlist".

How about "allow list" and "block list?"
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Counting pre-release announcements, MS .net was officially Windows only for the first 15ish years of it's life. It's only been officially cross platform for 5; and early versions of .net core fell well short of being full featured replacements for the legacy stack.

Agreed, it takes a while (and VSCode might be a Trojan Horse for it on Linux). I do think the biggest problem is too many Linux folk still think of the company as Micro$oft and refuse to even look at it. Personally, I think they'd love it if they tried.
