Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use .NET if: You want net for building enterprise-grade, scalable applications on windows, linux, and macos, especially in corporate environments or for cloud-native development with azure and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Node.js if: You prioritize js when building server-side applications, especially for real-time features like chat or gaming, or when creating restful apis and microservices due to its fast performance and asynchronous capabilities over what .NET offers.
