Great to see the continued development of a framework like this. Every time Microsoft attempts to ease developer burden like this, it is a flop. It was the DNN framework that kept me in the Microsoft ecosystem for over 10 years when I would have otherwise abandoned it. Oqtane is a current generation of the aging (and now somewhat slow) DNN framework. Microsoft should be able to sponsor this project based on the large number of SQL Server licenses, Visual Studio licenses and Azure services that I've purchased myself and influenced over the years as a result. The same is true for the many component vendors. Many people benefit from frameworks like this. I can only hope to contribute something close to the value this framework adds to my organization.
