What ecosystem do you work on and use today?

Anything that isn't Microsoft, with the exception of Typescript. Primarily the Node/NPM ecosystem though.

.NET Core is looking nice, but I'd rather not risk being burned twice.

Typescript is supported by Google in Angular2, so it's not a completely Microsoft dominated effort. It's also just a transpiler so it doesn't call into a bunch of closed source Windows APIs which might not work quite right when implemented on non-MS platforms.

Can't speak for GP, but jumped over to Node myself near that time... spent a few years migrating .Net apps, and today mostly work in Node. I've enjoyed it a lot, despite some recent pain (going from Webpack 1 and nyc/mocha/chai to Webpack 2 and Jest) it's still been nicer than when I have to fire up VS (in a VM even) to help with a bug at work.

I will say the .net core stuff is looking really nice to work with though.
