I’m assuming you mean Rider since R# is a part of VS. But Windows Forms? Microsoft basically abandoned that years ago. The writing is on the wall as far as the .Net framework, MS is showing no love for classic .Net. All of their energy is toward .Net Core. I jumped off of that train a year ago and don’t plan to look back. I’m a big fan of Core but classic .Net?

Yes, Forms. It is legacy, yet loved by many enterprise customers, lots of gigs available.

.NET Core will be relevant for our customers when it finally achieves 1:1 parity with .NET Framework features, until then not many will bother to rewrite their applications, they already have Java for non-Windows platforms with better libraries.

I had to port an application from .NET Framework to Java, because customer wanted it to run on Linux and .NET Core wasn't up to it, regarding the necessary features.
