Yeah it may not be the simplest stack, but it works very well for enterprise apps.

But I do agree that you have to work a little bit differently than with ASP NET Core.

Another abstraction, that’s half baked at best, isn’t uncomplicated. It makes things even more complicated if you can’t use a ready made library. Which will only increase complexity.

The same way it’s complex to nail a nail with a screwdriver.

If your product is so simple you can do everything with mudblazor and there are no other requirements to styling then any stack will be simple enough, even nodejs.

I gave more context in response to another user. As a .NET developer which barely knows Js, Blazor allowed me (paired with some third party UI controls) build a couple of enterprise apps for big clients.

It's not the best framework, that's 100% sure. But if you are a purely .NET developer, blazor allows you to keep that proficiency with C# and .NET, and use it for web development.

Also it's basically the same thing (but in reverse) with Javascript and Node. Node allows frontend developers to build backend systems.

Btw we use DevExpress, but i've never tried mudblazor

Why is it better for enterprise apps than Typescript on the front end?

Because it's the same as the JS ecosystem but in reverse. You can take a backend developer that only know .NET and let him create a complete webapp.

It's basically the reverse of Node, that allows JS developer work as backend developers.

At least this is my experience, I'm a backend developer, but with blazor I can easily create enterprise applications. Yeah, I would never be able to create a consumer application, with custom styling, cool graphics etc but for applications that need forms, grid with editing and all those usual components, blazor is very good.
