Developer tools can be magic but instead collect dust

You can now deploy .net core apps on Linux. Even SQL Server can run on Linux now. Plus, if you want to, debug it locally on your Windows machine on Linux using WSL (as simple as changing a drop-down to WSL and it'll install everything required on your WSL instance).

On the negative-side, the asp.net core team is obsessed with dependency injection and async, which results in tons of shitty boilerplate. So you either have to strike off the beaten path and get nice clean, terse code, but constantly fight the tooling, or accept their dogmatic styling and end up with ridiculously bloated code.

I haven't worked with ASP.NET Core for a while now, but what exactly do you refer to with "ridiculously bloated code"? async-await doesn't add much extra code, save the occasional await keyword sometimes?

Yes, that's just the DI that does that, the async/await just gives you ridiculous call stacks and untraceable errors, usually for zero performance gains.
