Understood, although I still think you should consider evaluating .NET Core (even w/o ServiceStack), the latest .NET Standard 2.0 offers a broad and compatible API Surface shared by .NET Framework v4.6.2 and .NET Core. The new msbuild project format is much more human-friendly that together with tools like `dotnet watch run` you can for the first time productively develop C# Apps with command-line tooling and a text editor like VS Code in any OS (that also sports IDE features like intelli-sense/debugging/etc - tho Rider is my personal pref / with VS Code for the SPA front-end). Being able to deploy to Linux opens up a new world of automation possibilities where you have first-class Docker support or can incrementally deploy just changed files in seconds with a single rsync + ssh supervisord bash command run with WSL - everything feels cleaner, faster and more automatable and runs flawlessly cross-platform, e.g. all our .NET Core Apps are developed on Windows and deployed to Linux.

It's a different world with a much improved development model that I find vastly superior compared to traditional classic ASP.NET Framework Web Apps - which I don't see myself ever creating greenfield Apps for again.
