Release Candidate 1 really should not have shipped.

I had a prototype product using DNX "Release Candidate" and then DNX was killed.

It was a prototype and nothing of real value was lost. I'm not holding a grudge, and I'm sure the people at Microsoft would have avoided it if they had a crystal ball.

Personally I love .NET, find C# extremely enjoyable and look forward to RC2 but the way RC1 ended left a sour taste in my mouth.
