    .NET Core is more lightweight and modular

    Dotnet core is cross platform and that will make it easier to keep business logic for multiple platforms in one codebase.

    It's probably the lightweight thing. And if your business already uses .net core for other development, you'll be familiar with it for wpf.

    For example .net for for the company web server.

    I imagine it's a step on the way to cross platform desktop apps.

    WPF and WinForms with .NET Core are only compatible with Windows. I dont think that they ever will support Linux, because they have so many dependencies on Win APIs.

    Do you have a source for this?

    WPF relies on DirectX/Direct3D and WinForms on GDI+.
    I can't image how cross platform UI should work without a complete rewrite.
