It is somewhat lacking in the community. What's there is quite friendly, cool, and often doing neat things. There just isn't as many libraries as, say, Python, because there aren't as many people.
I'd say learn the MS ecosystem for the same reason I learned Linux way back when: a different perspective.
You'll see all the same things, but sometimes done a different way. Not necessarily better or worse, just different. I'm pretty confident you'll have at least one "that's a great way to do that" moment.
Maybe you'll come away from the experience much as I have: I don't really care what the tech is. Will it do what I need it to? It also has made picking up "new" tech (ain't nuthin' new) really easy.
Oh, and search for "dotnet". Most places use that. Google will search for ".net" if you add in "C#" or something.
