What do Asp Net engineers struggle with the most?

Question

I have a friend whose company is built in Net, a thriving successful business. They want to hire more engineers, but are worried that Net isn't an attractive technology anymore. I am thinking this could actually be their advantage, as there are thousands of Net engineers.If you are a Net engineer, what do you struggle with about your job and/or with the technology that you might want to see fixed?If you were to consider changing your current job, but still sticking with Net, what would you want to exist in the new company which would improve your day?Am I asking the wrong question?

Make sure you have a plan to upgrade all your projects to .NET 5.[1]
ASP.NET is quite fun, if you can keep your work up to date. Opening up a project that needs bug fixes, but doesn't have access to the latest tooling in VS2019 or language syntax because it still on the old .NET Framework is a bummer.
Any company that was willing to update their .NET apps regularly, and treat development of the app as a service rather than a one time project would make me jump ship.

Old, and/or outdated documentation is my top struggle. With all these different versions of .net framework/core, asp.net with and without core, entity framework and all the other stuff in the ecosystem you always have to check if the documentation fits the .net (framework/core) version you are currently using.On the first look it seems like there didn't change a lot between the old net framework and net core 1,2,3 and now .net 5 but once you get into the details each time it is a changed world.
