The article unfortunately does bot provide valuable information. .NET Core is great nevertheless. You should check it out.
ASP.NET Core is much worse in this regard.
Right now .NET Core feels like it's a gigantic beta testing experience. The motto "move fast and break things" is being taken very literally, which wouldn't be bad if we weren't talking about a platform used to develop infrastructure.
Perhaps .NET Core in general and ASP.NET Core in particular wil be an important platform 2 or 3 years from now, but right now I feel it takes too much courage and too little good sense to base a relevant project in .NET Core.
