.Net core and the current shift of Microsoft (from what I can tell) is to decouple their software platforms from the MS OS hosting. Core is an environment that can be hosted on non-iis servers. Shifting WPF to Core is part of that. Everything MS is doing makes sense from this perspective, including their recent announcement that they are winding down operating system development - dropping Windows. The problem I have had personally with Core is that its not easy to lift and shift an existing code library to the platform. Some dependencies, both in the API and 3rd party, are just not there. Hopefully they get it all sorted out, would love to have a tool that converts a code base at the click of a button some day.

Can we get an outlandish? outlandish string FooBar {get;set;}
