I've used Core RC1 for a few months now and I haven't seen any of the issues you're worried about. I've had way more pain with TypeScript, VS, and node integration than anything .NET specific. From my point of view the .net piece just works, even with the RC bits.

It's just a bit more granular than before, but VS helps you a lot. All you have to do is type a class name and VS can suggest to import a library that you never included in your project. This alone, in my opinion, makes it a lot easier than before - I wouldn't want to go back.

The fact that one person hasn't experienced these issues doesn't invalidate my argument. I am sure some people will have no issues, but there will be some percentage of people who do have issues and I suspect that percentage will be quite large. I also suspect a lot of people who have not encountered issues aren't actually building software for an employer. As someone else mentioned, a lot of the more vocal people tend to be unemployed hobbyists who have no deadlines or who don't venture off the beaten path because they don't have any requirements.

You seem to suspect a lot without bringing any evidence; nothing but FUD. I can just as easily suspect that you're full of it.

I'm with Rener on this. He mentioned important areas where .NET Core falls apart. Would like to see it changing, but as for now almost nobody is going to use .NET Core for anything serious. .NET Core is selfishly designed for .NET Core developers, not for .NET Core customers.

Have you raised bugs when you hit issues with Core?

OK to address those: The micro packages are Microsoft packages which means they'll be testing them thoroughly and independencies between them will be recorded via NuGet. The whole "delete numbers and update" bit makes no sense given the NuGet update command.

The point of current ASP.Net Core development is that they are being open about the sausage making process in order to avoid massive breaking changes in the future. Opening an MVC3 project has a defined update process because 3->6 has a massive update process. The team is aiming to only add new functionality going forward (at least for a very long time), they don't want to have to release Core 2.0 but 1.18. Things may break at the moment but that is almost certainly because you're hooked up to the MS CI build MyGet repository, certainly that is what the ASP Live streams are doing, so it is hardly surprising that things don't always work. They've just committed to 6+ weeks of fixing stuff before the RTM - stability will improve.
