I don't use the Core, but I have a few .NET applications that are running on RaspPi's via Mono
|
|
|
|
|
The only .NET apps I have are ones that specifically agents that target things that only exist in the Windows environment. If they could be done in Java and/or run on Linux that's where they would be.
|
|
|
|
|
But me (as a developer with wide interests) I think I should at least try that - Linux is more predictable and manageable platform and I could be happy to lead all my work in Linux.

I say already do since we write multi platform (C# !!) app for Android and iOS here!
so linux yes! ^_^

not all of us are running .net and a percentage are probably looking at the language they use thinking to themselves.
"my development platform has allowed me to run on different OS's for years"

 Bingo. If I can't write in C or ASM I consider it more-or-less a toy platform.
As for GUIs - there's nothing I've encountered wrong with wxWidgets. A custom control works anywhere wx does.

Not gonna lie, .net looks interesting for certain things, and having it be cross-platform natively (finally) really makes it attractive.
Of course, I'll probably stick to my C/C++... hasn't failed me yet.  
|
|
|
|
|
Ditto. I had worked with .NET in the past, but not any more.
|
|
|

Then I'd say you fall into the "I definitely won't" bucket.
(I get your point, but this isn't meant to be a scientifically defendable, statistically perfect survey)

... but right now AFAIK .net core is limited to web/console apps. Not what I'm doing so not really relevant to me yet.
OTOH WinForms is both tightly coupled to Win32 and legacy (WPF has been clearly the way to go for new work for the last few years, unfortunately it's been even longer since I've had any greenfield desktop development), so I'm not holding my breath.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Xamarin.Forms looks furiously like WPF (like all .NET UI framework post WPF: Silverlight, WinRT, UWP, you name it! ^_^ )
and non UI code and view model can be shared in PCL libraries!
|

Which would be great if my apps were WPF. It does nothing for my winform apps; which would need a complete rewrite of the UI layer.
I'm also skeptical about being able to backfit existing code to PCLs. I tried once a few years back to try out a tool from MS research; but ended up finding non-portable bits all over the place. I cut my losses after a few hours since I didn't see any easy way forward.

Should be an option on almost all of these polls.

You mean to say, .NET Core, right? 
That is really a very great framework and support, I did write many programs for Mono, many applications using it. The thing is similar to Mono (well, Mono and Microsoft are one now, after all!), doesn't support a great GUI framework. GTK# is not worth it.
I'm waiting for a great GUI framework, (P.S: MS, I'm talking about WPF), then, definitely I would start pushing apps for Linux. Mac? nah!

You are right. The GUI is exactly what's missing for .NET apps on other (non-Windows) platforms. Here's a project, which fixes this problem: Nevron Open Vision
It's a cross-platform UI framework implemented as a set of portable class libraries (PCL) and currently runs on Windows, Silverlight and Mac OS X (using Mono) and more to come in the near future. Thus you can write your app once and it will look and work the same on all of these platforms.
The basic UI controls (buttons, check boxes, radio buttons, drop downs, list boxes, tree views, toolbars and menus, ribbon, etc.) are completely free and only the heavy controls like chart, diagram, schedule, etc. are paid. If you have a Silverlight enabled browser, you can take a look at the online examples.
Disclosure: I work for Nevron.
