>The problem is that does Microsoft seems to want the average dev to not ever interact with project files, or targets directly, hence the garbage that is the configuration manager and visual studio having a GUI to 'configure' projects.
I get that with solution files, but csprojs are relatively simple and easy to modify yourself. I do it all the time. They even updated VS2022 somewhat recently to automatically open the project contents as text when you double click it, so I don't know where you get that impression from.
>Solution files are just straight up garbage though. Totally pointless.
As opposed to what? You want `dotnet build` to go crawl your directory looking for .csproj files every time? Or cache it in some obscure database somewhere and have to deal with needing to force clear the cache whenever you make a change.
If you didn't have solution files to configure projects, build types, and start up, you would need some alternative anyway like dotfiles with json configuration like VSCode does.
