It's usually a good idea to wait for the patch release before updating. This applies to most software, including VS, VSC and .NET Core.

Being an early adopter sucks unless you're just testing it out. If it's your job then wait for it to stabilise and for the real-world bug fixes.

The next Long Term Support version of .NET Core will be 3.1. It should be out in November.

.Net 3.0 has gone through about a dozen preview releases and the last 4 have a go-live production license. It's much better tested than the old .NET Framework with its monolithic releases.

I can at least name two bugs. both bugs do not apply to everybody and one is fixable with some additional code. I reported both in preview9, one should be included into 3.0 but was not. the other will be fixed in 3.1:

That's very much true for tools like Visual Studio, but not for the runtime itself.
