Great news! I highly recommend you guys communicate with the .NET Core team on GitHub during your investigation. The team is very approachable and responsive to questions, be it the people working on the class library (corefx) or the runtime (coreclr) and are neutral as to IDE’s. Furthermore, from my personal experience with the .NET Core project and my initial impression with SlickEdit I think that given a solid debugging integration, SlickEdit can quite possibly take on a "leader" role in this new space, go seize the opportunity! heck, I’m buying!
