I do Java and .NET consulting.
In what concerns UNIX like systems we don't care at all about .NET Core, because it is still playing catch up with the .NET Framework libraries we care about, lacking parity with many mature Java versions.
Which has led to some projects porting a set of small .NET applications to Java, as means to deploy on Linux, because the customer wasn't willing to bet on .NET Core.
Additionally, in spite of not being fully Java SE compliant, it is still more productive to write Android in Java as dealing with Xamarin integration issues.
Rider IDE might be interesting when they start supporting GUI development.
Finally, as any long time .NET developer will tell you, Microsoft also has its own fun moments.
