There is still wide resentment towards Microsoft, just go to /r/programming and check out threads about .Net, there's at least a few threads at the bottom going "EEE".

Plus dotnet core wasn't API stable until recently. I think we're still 1-2 years from mass adoption.

Also check @librexpr's comment above, there's a lot of confusion around.

It's still not really any where near finished is it?

I think they finally managed to get image manipulation in to replace the missing System.Drawing, but EF Core is still woefully half-finished.

The literally seem to have no clue about how people actually use their system and keep focusing on all the wrong things. Actually, it's more like some idealist programmers have become the core team instead of getting-it-done programmers, so it's all the latest fads instead of getting finished. The obsession with async isn't helping either, it makes the code so bad for no real-world performance gains.

My impression is they are moving super slowly and from the POV of an existing customer, the whole process has been a complete disaster. It might end up ok, but at the moment it's just a bad version of existing .Net.

Your paragraph about they "literally don't know how people use their system" seems obvious to me that you must be a 10x mega developer with insider knowledge. Idealist programmers, you're right! Async await offers NO benefits and was implemented in es6 as a mistake... probably corporate bullying.

Async is bad and you're pining for entity framework? We lead different lives.
