The tooling and community for c# are very well developed. Remember, .net core is not a new language, just some minor restrictions on an existing, very successful one. If you're on windows, visual studio 2015 is just about the best ide anyone could hope for. If you're not, visual studio code is excellent, and getting better all the time. If you already have experience with node then that's yet another reason to go with c#. Learn something new! I like both languages, and I don't challenge the fact that JavaScript is dominating right now, but I have a feeling 2017 will see a .net core explosion. It's easier to code, better performing, multithreaded and you don't have to install a thousand packages to do simple things like you often do with node (I shudder every time I look in that node modules folder)
