Fine by me. The faster we can get everyone off of .NET Framework, the better.

  Agreed. Having both around is a nightmare, I still can't believe they ever did it this way.

    I completely understand why they did it, and it actually makes a lot of sense to me. I wish PCLs never happened and I wish .NET Standard happened a lot earlier (seriously, the idea of platform profiles vs a standard API is idiotic and completely unmaintainable). The other place MS has not executed well is versioning/naming and the communication of those versions/names. But soon(?) it'll all be .NET Core and we can put this behind us.

    Its actually very nice, you can update your framework projects to 4.7 which can cross compile as dotnet core 2.1 then after you are comfortable with the dotnet core build you can drop framework.

      Any way you could provide more information about this? I have some legacy projects on 4.7 that I would love to migrate over to core 2.1

        If you're using .Net Core version of csproj, it's the difference between e.g. <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.1</TargetFramework> and <TargetFrameworks>net47;netcoreapp2.0</TargetFrameworks>. I don't know if there's a good way to migrate the csprojs automatically (maybe https://github.com/hvanbakel/CsprojToVs2017? https://github.com/hvanbakel/CsprojToVs2017?), but it shouldn't be that hard manually (by creating a new project), assuming you have just a few projects to migrate.
