ASP.NET MVC 6 is RC and pretty close to stable and will support cross platform CoreCLR out of the box - Microaoft will probably start offering Linux packages with it on Azure when it's released. But even if you need something right now and CoreCLR doesn't cut it Mono compatibility story got a lot better because they could just take stuff from CoreCLR and other OSS drops from Microsoft recently - so I would say cross platform developmebt with .NET is much less painfull than it was even 2 years ago. Even more JetBrains is working on a C# IDE so you won't be stuck with MonoDevelop/VS code on non widows platforms. I'm thinking most of this will be out during BUILD. Last few posts here make me sound like a .NET advocate :D For the last year I've been doing C++/Python/Dart/JavaScript. I also used Clojure/JVM before - I'm not one of those "full stack .NET" developers - I just had great expiriences developing on the .NET platform, been keeping an eye on the ecosystem and I hate when people dismiss it on false assumptions - there is some top of the line stuff in that platform that would make my life as a developer better on a daily basis.
