the drop of .NET core branding definitely makes it worse. as the other projects(like asp.netcore, efcore) just can't drop "core" from their names on a whim.

in my opinion, they should have kept "core" branding, but shortened it to ".NET" for marketing and only for marketing.

in a better world, Microsoft would ditch the name ".NET" altogether and invent a new one. like LVM (lightweight virtual machine)

No. Was hard enough to convince people of .NET Core away from the .NET Framework. Adding a completely different name and I would have several hundred java devs now instead of beautiful .net 10 on Linux.

I don't agree. "Core" is another Microsoft-classic crappy nondescriptive piece of naming. I'm glad it went away.
