.NET Core vs .NET Framework: what should you choose for new apps?

The question is about .NET Core .

Answer:
For new apps, .NET Core (including .NET 5/6/7+) is widely recommended over the older .NET Framework: it is cross-platform, actively developed, open source, and faster for many workloads. The classic .NET Framework is mostly used for legacy Windows-only applications with dependencies. For new development, .NET Core (now simply called .NET) is the best default option.
