I recently switched companies from one .Net shop to (kinda, sorta) another.

The previous one had a big product based on a COM-turned-WCF architecture for years. WCF is dead/not a thing on .Net core.

The one I'm currently looking at just recently (last year-ish?) migrated from idk what to .. a big pile of WCF. I don't think that will every migrate either.

(yes, there are ways to replace WCF if you - and these examples don't require that - ignore transaction support, but it's a nightmare to migrate as far as I can tell .. and you end up with a product that looks exactly the same to the customer)

I've dabbled in .Net core since its inception and would love to use it more, but the whole WCF story was usually a deal breaker for usage at work unfortunately.
