.NET Core: To port or not to port?
-
Much buzz accompanied the release of .NET Core 2.0 this summer, but it's actually not the best .NET implementation target to choose for all projects.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of multiple platforms; or by ignoring them, shipping something

To plague th' inventor: this even-handed justice

Nothing in the alley but a scrawny old tom-cat chewing on a fish-head long past its use-by date. cheers, Bill

Waits for Q&A to be inundated with "How to convert my project to .NET Core? Please help it's urgent".

As a developer, that's been my main reason to not even consider *nix as an OS for, well, everything. Now if only there was a decent *nix desktop. They're all crappy to some degree or other, IMO.

Gnome3 is the relative grown-up. But if you're using something other than BASH, you're wasting your time (or more precisely, your clock cycles).

The amount of profit they earn from Windows per se is comparatively small these days, as opposed to their applications that run on Windows. For them now, the cloud is the big thing. Windows remains important to host stuff in the cloud but otherwise "we can accommodate everyone else now and still make money" is the strategy. That's why they've become increasingly friendly to non-MS platforms and technology.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
