It's not complicated, but the .NET tooling on Linux did not understand it :) that's what my point is all about. For the best .NET experience, use Visual Studio on Windows. If you're not on those two, the tooling experience is not going to be particularly pleasant - nor the documentation. My advice after having tried it seriously - .NET does work crossplatform, I've seen it, but you need to be a Windows dev to tap into that. Would not recommend a mac/linux dev who's looking to do cross-platform work to pick .NET as the foundation.
