.NET Core and .NET MVC are both great options for web development, but they have different strengths and weaknesses.

.NET Core is a newer framework that is designed to be cross-platform, while .NET MVC is a framework that is specifically designed for Windows. .NET Core is also more lightweight and modular than .NET MVC, which can make it a better choice for applications that need to be deployed on a variety of devices.

However, .NET MVC is a more mature framework with a larger community of developers, which can make it easier to find help and resources if you need them. .NET MVC is also a more feature-rich framework, which can make it a better choice for complex applications.

Ultimately, the best choice for you will depend on your specific needs and requirements. If you need a cross-platform framework that is lightweight and modular, then .NET Core is a good choice. If you need a mature framework with a large community of developers and a lot of features, then .NET MVC is a good choice.

Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between .NET Core and .NET MVC:

| Feature | .NET Core | .NET MVC |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cross-platform | Yes | No |
| Lightweight | Yes | No |
| Modular | Yes | No |
| Mature | No | Yes |
| Large community | No | Yes |
| Feature-rich | No | Yes |
