nobody in their right mind would call that "straightforward".
it's all _understandable_, yes, but definitely not straightforward.
but seriously - don't talk about "empathy" in the world of software development.
we need 100% of our empathy resources for people who have to work with shit-tier technology like javascript or typescript. not for people who struggle with the distinction between 4 terms. -

Don't stress Microsoft politics and its pushing something new ever year or so.
I've had this argument with some pretty smart folks over the years with .Net. I say, it's all the same, just a different suffix and has zero impact in my life. Other get giddy, scared, stressed, <pick your emotion> over .Net this, .Net that..when it changes nothing in our code base.
J: "OMG! This <random feature> is going to save the company 100,000 lines of code!!"
Me: "Are you going to re-write our entire code base just to use that new feature?"
J: "No, that would be stupid"
Me: "So, that feature will save the company ... zero lines of code?"
J: "Smart ass."

Emotional support thread - feel free to comment here if you've ever been in a conversation about .NET, .NET Core, .NET Standard, .NET Framework and someoneverysmart has declared that it is actually very straightforward and obvious and then proceeded to explain in a way that is neither straightforward nor obvious, or is even plain wrong.
Feel free to link them to this thread. I guess it is unlikely these folks have the requisite self awareness to get anything out of it, but it is worth a try.
Finally for anybody about to comment here to explain the differences, please read the above three times, try to get it into your skulls that this thread is more about empathy and awareness than it is about the differences in .NET versions; and then go ahead and explain here anyway becauese I guess it will be a good cautionary tale.
