Why should I choose ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) instead of ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Framework)?
I’m talking about options 1 and 3 in the options below, what will be the difference?
I saw the following question, but I still don’t understand what is the difference between option 1 and 3:
Visual Studio 2015 Web Application .NET Core vs .NET Framework

Method 1
- Option 1 – ASP.NET Web Application
- Option 3 – ASP.NET Core Web Application
Although both project templates use Full .Net Framework, Option 1 is for creating projects using legacy version of ASP.NET MVC in which we can use Global.asax.
Option 3 is totally new concept in which wwwroot folder, using task runners and everything is through OWIN middleware.
A lot of organization and companies are not ready to jump into new project template yet. I believe Option 1 is there for backward compatibility.
