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. -

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.

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.
