Have you seen the updates to SharePoint Framework?

Sliced bread has nothing on the offline-capable SharePoint Workbench. You don't need to stand up a dev/test environment or a playground online tenant.

Does this mean .Net is no longer supported? While progress marches on I will miss the .Net option. We only have limited developer resource and for us we've been able to use essentially the same original codebase for standalone asp.net sites, SharePoint application pages, examples of SharePoint add-ins and more recently Azure AD apps over several years.

That's not the message....of course .NET development is still an option, as other development models available today, and you will have scenarios where the new framework does not fit. I recommend you to read Waldek's post about what the new framework means in regards of developing for SharePoint

I had. The message I got was basically Server Side Bad, Client Side Good. That's fair enough as that seems to be the way of things and has been for some time, I just worry a little over the future of .net as a whole. It will be intersting to see how .net Core fares.

  Hi
  Server bad, client good has been the message from Microsoft for a couple of years now. OfficeDev / PnP has a good series of videos (on channel 9 or here https://camo.githubusercontent.com/35027fc484857880077408327a701c05d12825cb/687474703a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f4263514576776c2e706e67)

    Maybe I need to tell my developer to learn JavaScript.:smileyhappy:
    
    Edit: Or more likely Typescript as it seems much less horrible than plain JavaScript.

  But there will be things you won't be able to do at the client side...
