It's still in development. In the past you weren't even able to glance inside the sausage factory. If you want something solid then wait until 1.0 is out, preferably 2.0.

Thanks for the history lesson. I am fully aware of what stage it's at. I am commenting on the solution and what appears to be a meandering target, with huge holes. It's currently at RC but no support for F#, no support for SignalR, VS2015 tooling is comically bad, cripplingly slow build times, and now a totally new toolchain (dotnet-CLI) that doesn't support the same dependency system that dnx supports.

That doesn't sound like a RC to me. I have a general feeling that the RTM standards are slipping massively at MS. Windows 10 was a dog when I tried it - and obviously not finished, VS2015 is very unstable, then the issues above... It feels like stuff is being pushed out the door much earlier than it previously would have been.

I do appreciate the direction they're taking, it just feels rudderless atm.

They may call it RC, but it's barely beta. Recently they said they'd take their time to get it right - less conference driven development. This is a new start, SignalR will come after RTM, so lots of things won't be there. Think of it as version 1 rather than 5. There's currently no VB support either, so F# may take a bit.
