Hi
I'm really interested in knowing what are your reasons for this. Send me your reasons and I will insert them into the list.
Thanks for your comment TheOnlyBeardedBeast!

I agree with the technologies you mentioned (in most cases) in the article, but the most of the times I always see the same list again and again without .net core or c#. So why would I pick .net core over php, it is simple c#. Why c# makes a good choice for 2020, it allowed me to jump into typescript or flutter (dart) development without a steep learning curve. Nice syntax, multiplatform, multithreading, IoT, machinelearning, opensource... It was really hard for me to go back from .net core to Laravel for a short period of time and I really loved Laravel back in the time. Even a lot of companies I am in contact are trying or already kicked php out of their stack. But it is not really about php vs c#, I just miss .net core from almost every article.

I believe .NET is a great framework but also believe it is hard to learn. At least harder than PHP or Laravel to be more precise. The hardness of deploying a .NET application comparing to PHP is another reason why I didn't mention it in the list. I do agree with you why the lists are all the same and maybe that is because usually all the programmers are thinking the same. But thanks for you suggestion I will add .NET core to the list.

Check out the deployment, like for a php app, you can buy just buy a shared hosting for .net, build the app and then upload it over ftp and if you are using visual studio you can then just setup a deployment profile and then hit the deploy button. So it is not much harder then working with php.

I've been using dokku for my smaller projects, so just need to set up a git remote and a dockerfile, pretty damned easy. .Net Core, node, Python, go... All about the same to me.
