Reasons for making this change
The Visual Studio .gitignore file is out of date for .NET and isn't easily findable/searchable which confuses folks looking for a .NET specific gitignore, especially those on Mac or Linux for development. As .NET becomes more cross-plat, it doesn't make sense for modern devs to pull in the full VS .gitignore. This is a modernized, slimmed down gitignore for .NET 5+ apps (2020s release) and run in VS, VS Code, and Rider.
