Depends on what you're doing. Some technologies are only supported on Windows (like the official UI frameworks), but most things like webdev and gamedev libraries are supported on all platforms. Giving up Visual Studio can be a hard sell, as from my experience C# + Visual Studio (+ ReSharper) is one of the most productive programming environments you can have.

You can download the SDK from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/ and use it on any platform with your editor of choice, including JetBrains Rider, which is a cross-platform .NET IDE.

Depending on your UI needs, may want to look at Eto.Forms and MonoGame. :-) That said, I agree on productivity for C# + VS. I find I'm more productive with node + npm + vs code though.

.Net Core hasn't been too bad outside VS... I do wish they'd stuck to the JSON project format. I also wish dotnet had a task runner like npm in it.
