Few points:

- Deployments: https://www.microsoft.com/net/customers

- Monthly engaged developers is >500k for NET Core.

- >50% of developers are on Windows.

Note that some of the pull quotes on that site don't specify .NET Core, and probably predate it (e.g. the Stack Overflow story dates back to 2014, and refers to Framework).

We know that .NET Core is generally liked by Microsoft developers (with good reason), but I have no idea what corporate adoption is like, and would love to see indicators that people are actually migrating production systems. The existance of Core makes Framework that bit more annoying to deal with, and it would be nice to see that things are moving.

Stackoverflow team contributes to .NET Core itself since pre 1.0 dates. It is a pretty safe bet that they use it in production.

Corporate adoption is very good afaik. For .NET developers, .NET Core is a lot of fresh air and also a long overdue defence against Node. They want to continue to work with C# :)

Really?! US .NET developers or what?

I never worried about Node ever, with so many nice languages in .NET and Java worlds to chose from.
