Oh, the dependency injection definitely works independently of ASP.NET Core - it's just something frequently talked about in tandem with it. Just wrote a console app that used it a couple of days ago.

I don't know about the current status of the GUI layer, other than that I've heard plans for WPF to be ported over to .NET Core. I don't know if or when that will actually happen.

Both WPF and WinForms will be part of .NET Core 3.0. They've done a few demos of it already, and were able to port over existing apps without any changes to the code. This even worked when using third party controls like the ones you can get from Telerik. They just added references to the Telerik .dll's they already had, and everything just worked.

They'll still only run on Windows, but it's a nice option for teams that want to move their existing apps over to .NET Core and take advantage of the quicker update cycle and improved performance.

There are plans to bring WPF to .NET Core but it will still be windows only. It is being done because Microsoft wants to move all development to be on top of .NET Core.
