The original thread is on the devil’s website and I don’t want to direct traffic to it, so here’s a link to the tweet instead:

Well, like most people who haven't used .NET, I have very strong opinions about it.
The first and main issue I take with it is how it's all capitalised. Second but not less, it's such a generic name. Am I gonna get websites in the .net domain or do I have to learn Google search beyond typing random junk, pressing enter, and hoping for a stackoverflow answer that works?
When searching for help I always use "dotnet" instead of ".NET" as a search term.
I tried something similar for SQL and kept getting Star Wars memes.
You'll eventually get used to different casing conventions in different languages that's just something that you have to mature into.
Depending on the language you are writing the conventions will be different, it's often within your best interests to adopt to those conventions instead of trying to fight against them.
