It's been a while since I've played around with this but I remember the "Great package management" story to be lacking with .NET Core. It was tough finding packages that worked with Core. Has the package ecosystem grown?

Basically all of your popular and widely used libraries support Core at this point. Also, starting with either Core 2.0 or 2.1 you can use most packages targeting .NET Framework with Core, and ~80% of them (IIRC) are supposed to be fully compatible.

  Good to hear! Might be time for me to check it out again.

    Agreed. I looked at core on MacOSX at some point, don't remember exactly when, and it wasn't quite there yet. Glad to hear that progress has been made and am very curious to check it out!

      Core works great now. I recently whipped up a micro service in it (on my MacBook) and rolled it out to our linux infrastructure with very little effort.

        That's really awesome and very encouraging to hear.
