Actual hot take, Blazor is awesome, it is like Microsoft looked into ASP.NET Forms, ASP.NET MVC and Razor, and bundled it to one quick framework to do simple WebApps.
Counter hot take, I do actually like Blazor but it has limitations due to how immature web assembly still is. It also does not solve the problem of being a big complex platform that isn’t needed for small simple apps. Of the half dozen projects I’ve written in Blazor, I’d personally re-write 3 or so in just Razor Pages with Htmx.

Server-side works better, webassembly and fat client on general imo aren’t worth it. It’s benefits require millions of users.
