I am a decade long VisualStudio user but since .NET Core I switched to VS Code. I cannot understand your complaints at all. Tooling is nice and sweet under VS Code and from the command line. VisualStudio has so much irrelevant bloat that they rewrote even their VS installer to simplify it. For .NET Core the whole experience is very similar.
The second class target is also not accurate. Azure (the future of MS) runs 60% Linux (afair) which makes .NET Core on Linux their primary target.
Give Microsoft and the .NET community a break. They achieved a lot in three years. The vendors other than the .NET team (including the rest of MS) just need some time to adopt their libraries (I am looking at you Amazon).
