"very mature und stable" Sorry but please don't spread these kind of lies. I love .NET Core to death, but the ecosystem is VERY immature. Just today I have been trying to authenticate with the Azure API for 8 hours because: 1) There is barely any support for .NET Core in the Azure SDK. 2) The documentation on the website is very outdated and does not take .NET Core into account. For example the documentation about Table Storage is talking about a TableQuery function that does NOT exist for .NET Core (and this isn't mentioned anywhere), the Azure Webjobs SDK does NOT support .NET Core (again, never mentioned anywhere). 3) .NET Core itself and the tooling surrounding it is full of bugs still. Yesterday I've been trying to reference the TableEntity class in my file, but VS couldn't find it anywhere. I've been trying really hard to get it working, even decompiling the source code to see what's up, but in the end apparently I just had to unload the project and reload it. Developing for .NET Core is still very, very, very painful. So many things will break and will not be supported (yet).

.NET core itself is actually very very stable. The TOOLING for .NET core is what's in flux the most right now.

  Hey, c'mon, we hit 1.0 on the tooling _weeks_ ago, with VS2017. Net Core has only been out since end of June last year. ;) /s (I started working on a .net Core project in January last year, transitioning into it as a new language from PHP/Coldfusion - perhaps not the ideal learning path with all the changes between the betas/RCs yet quite exciting at the same time) Now that we're here, though, we have e.g. NCrunch working with Core and from this point on it's becoming much more viable to develop in.

  You can claim that it's very stable but the ecosystem (support, tooling, community, etc) is simply not there yet to make .NET core one of the most attractive techs in the market right now.
