I agree that's frustrating, but I doubt Microsoft will be able to ever outdo itself with its .NET Framework/.NET Core/.NET naming convention nonsense.

.NET 7 and beyond consolidates Framework and Core. I think they're going to just stick to just .NET moving forward. Eventually Framework and Core will be EOL'd.

I do agree though, they did it very confusingly.

[SketchySeaBeast]

It's definitely better sorted now, but as a dev working in the .Net stack during the .Net 2.0 Core time, it was very confusing.

[giancarlostoro]

2.0? ;) I started with 1.0.1, which had very confusing versions like 1.0.1.1 and other weird nonsense... I wanted to scream at Microsoft.

Don’t forget .NET Standard.

Their naming for all of this is a disaster.

[giancarlostoro]

Standard was supposed to be the in-between for Framework and Core if I'm not mistaken, that will likely be phased out and EOL'd.
