Yes, C#'s greatest weakness is the tooling. There's no autoformatter, for heavens sake. (There are two in theory, but one is prettier's support for an old version of C# and one just doesn't work). And, yes, solution files and project=assembly are both absurd.


There's autoformatting tools in C# editors (VS, VSCode) and also the dotnet-format command-line tool for non-editing environments. Have you tried these?


I recall trying to get the dotnet-format command to do something and not succeeding. I'll try it again.
