Excellent point, I have developed in asp.net mvc for quite a while, but I am currently doing a asp.net core project, and it is a nightmare, there is absolutely nothing but the most basic libraries ported to core, even entity framework itself doesn't have lazy loading yet, which is the most basic feature anyone would want from ef. My current dragon to slay is doing things with pdfs and reporting on asp.net core, there is nothing truly open source.

The Full .NET Framework are fully supported and not going anywhere, why don't you just continue using them? Do you need a cross-platform runtime?

We tried actually, but the oddest thing happened to us, we could not connect to our database that way. I even created a brand new .net core app and changed to target 4.7 as soon as the change is made we lose connection to database

VS 2017 has a template that lets you create a ASP.Net Core project using the .Net 4.6 Framework. You get all of the goodness of .Net Core Asp.Net and the compatibility of .Net 4.6
