We don't do Azure and .NET Core is meaningless for us, as it doesn't have GUI support and EF Core is a tiny subset of EF 6.

As consulting company we are not bound to a single language or platform. When we do UNIX projects we use programming languages that are better fit for such platforms, and that isn't .NET Core.

For us .NET only matters for Windows related development, and there F# keeps being the black swan since its early days.

No tooling support for Windows Forms, XAML, Blend, ASP.NET, EF, WCF and now not even .NET Native, because for some strange political reason F# is separated from the .NET development group, and never considered on the decisions of the .NET platform as such.

With C# and VB.NET our customers on Microsoft solutions can be 100% sure their code is safe regardless of what Microsoft thinks to do next, at maximum they would need to re-write parts of it.
