Isn't .NET supposed to be a separate non-profit foundation with no ties to M$? Why aren't they also advertising Rider and Jetbrains' AI tooling?

Maybe (but probably not)? These docs are not on some .net foundation site, they are on https://learn.microsoft.com/ so...

Is it? I never heard that. It's cross platform, but definitely and obviously strongly tied to Microsoft.

The very first word you see on the .NET foundation page [1] is "INDEPENDENT" in giant lettering. Also, at least on my screen, funnily enough Jetbrains has a bigger logo at the bottom than MS does, so surely the docs should also talk about Rider & Junie or whatever their AI stuff is called, right?

To be clear, I'm being facetious, I think everyone is aware MS has their slimy tentacles very deeply dug into .NET and that's the whole issue.
