I'm a Linux guy - but have to say .net core has impressed me.

Going back to the question - certainly in the UK it is massively popular. The company i'm at now is mainly .net, but moving to .net core, probably a majority of jobs in my area are using some flavour.

To some extent I think old school .net is holding it back. Core however will get a lot of traction, nobody wants to pay the Windows tax when they don't need to.

Same here. I think F# in particular is really appealing now that support in Linux is first class.
Yeah. I look at my company and their AWS bill which is huge - deploying .net core on Linux will save them so much money. I'd prefer golang but the difference is in the realms of noise.
