FYI, only way forward is core. Microsoft doesn't really invest much in older net and related (for example PowerShell 5). There may be fixes here and there but are mostly security.

FYI a lot of the .NET Framework is also opensource https://referencesource.microsoft.com/

.NET Core is getting MASSIVE adoption in the large midwest city I work in. I expect .NET Framework to go on life support in a couple years.

The ability to build and run applications on Linux is something even old school .NET shops are excited about.
