- 10. which to choose? To be clear, ASP.NET 4.6 is the more mature platform. It's battle-tested and released and available today.

It will have these subsystems some day but not today. - Scott Hanselman (http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ASPNET5IsDeadIntroducingASPNETCore10AndNETCore10.aspx)
