Me too. I also came from a php background and I love the new .NET Core, Typescript and so forth. Funny is that I've always been dismissing .NET for so long and been a heavy Linux user. I never thought the day would come where I prefer .NET and Azure.

Although, professionally I basically only do frontend work or node work. So javascript is pretty much what brings in the cash each month nowadays.

Right!? Half my co-workers still think I'm joking when I say C# or .NET

I still strictly develop C# on Linux, using JetBrains Project Rider and VS Code. I run production apps on Google Container Engine.

I'll test in Windows for cross platform apps using Visual Studio Community Edition from time to time. Never messed with Azure but I think they have some nice integrations with Visual Studio.

Is Project Rider usable already? I remember it was sort of in alpha not long ago

It's still in EAP, but has stabilized a lot in recent builds. The debugging story is not quite there for .NET Core, so I switch into VS Code for debugging right now.
