One cold harsh truth is that Asp.net core is nowhere close to node, python or django when it comes to libaries. It's growing but not that fast. C# is very verbose compared to Ruby. You'll find it hard to get Rails level of productivity with Asp.net core. Why? Because there is no sidekick, actionmailer, or asset piplining, turbolinks. Stuff like, "has many, through" (Rails) relationship isn't supported in entity framework. If you plan to use postgres, you'll run into many issues. You end up dealing with ugly DbContext for setting up basic models. And DbSets to enable tables for your models. All this ugly stuff is thrown in your face. There are no tutorials on how to add Vuejs or React to your asp.net core project. Postgres is simply treated as "not important" and you are expected to use mssql. PostGres + Entity Framework Core is mostly a hack. You run into soo many issues that you'll be forced to leave Postgres and go for mssql. Need image processing libaries? Good luck with that. There is simply no support. The only thing you've going for you is, static typing and cool IDE support. I tried asp.net core for several months and went back to Rails. Lookup ActiveMerchant and how many payment gateways it support, there is nothing like that in Asp.net core. Don't get me wrong everything is possible in asp.net core but you'll have to hack together your own solution, there is no standard way of doing things like there is in Rails. There is a very good reference project: Discource if you want to see the potential of Rails. Where can i find reference project for asp.net core? There are no good books either. Only tutorials available teach basic stuff like middleware, rest api without authentication. Heck all that can be done in Flask in 10 lines.

I’ll be blunt, you don’t know how to use .NET core and you never learned, despite your claimed “several months” of use. > There are no tutorials on how to add Vuejs or React to your asp.net core project. This is a remarkable complaint to make. There are literally template starter projects for react/angular when you go to file -> new project. If you choose not to use a starter template, adding your own frontend is trivial: place the built frontend in wwwroot and have an MVC endpoint that returns index.html. I’m not sure how this could be any easier, and it makes me wonder if you ever used .NET core at all. > Postgres is simply treated as "not important" and you are expected to use mssql. PostGres + Entity Framework Core is mostly a hack. You run into soo many issues that you'll be forced to leave Postgres and go for mssql. This is simply false. I have used Postgres with .NET core extensively and have never been forced to fall back on SQL server. Exactly what are these serious issues? > Only tutorials available teach basic stuff like middleware, rest api without authentication. Are you complaining about setting up authentication? It is easy to add JWT support in startup.cs and then secure endpoints via attributes. > You end up dealing with ugly DbContext for setting up basic models. And DbSets to enable tables for your models. All this ugly stuff is thrown in your face. What’s ugly about it? The DbContext represents a particular database connection and a DbSet represents an entity within that database. That’s an entirely rational way to represent the data layer. > Need image processing libaries? Good luck with that. There is simply no support. Another remarkable complaint to make. Nothing apart from OpenCV, ImageSharp, the native System.Drawing package, and this entire list of options: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/01/19/net-core-image-processing/ https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/01/19/net-core-... You should really stop making claims about .NET core that are demonstrably false.

  I use Magick.Net with ASP.NET Core 2.2 https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.NET https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.NET It is a popular and well known image processing lib.
