> I found myself amazingly productive with Razor Pages I'm curious, compared to what?

  Plain old MVC.

    SPAs too, it will depend on every project, of course, but a lot of projects don't actually need a REST API, and don't need a client side SPA with all the bindings and parameters coming and going, a lot of projects will be perfectly fine with server rendering.

    Odd statement considering you can do ASP .NET Core MVC with Razor pages too. Which is usually my main approach to ASP .NET Core.

  actually I'm a java guy or to say it differently, a scala guy and i mostly use mvc to create my normal web stuff. however with razor pages I'm so much faster to do stuff. because it's a little bit simpler to setup. Your model is actually just "code behind" and you could still have a good structure. and as a bonus, razor view engine is like twirl (scala project) minus some quirks. also you can still easily add typescript, etc. Or even make a SPA with the WebApi and SpaServices (heck I even use the Webpack Middleware). It's just amazing how integrated .Net Core 2 feels. And the easy stuff is already integrated into the Framework, like Authentication/Authorization. I've never had a secure cookie authentication running that quickly. actually when I looked at .net core 1.0 I basically already tought it is abadonware, because of the new build system, because i wasn't a huge fan of c# and lot's of stuff just didn't worked, but since we needed to migrate our old WebForms application I somehow tought that before rewriting everything, it might be a good idea to look into it and it somehow clicked. c# is really moving fast and the recent additions even makes myself as a scala programmer feel more at home.
