 # gRPC for .NET
 
-## Available now on .NET Core 3.0!
-
 gRPC is a modern, open source, high-performance remote procedure call (RPC) framework that can run anywhere. gRPC enables client and server applications to communicate transparently, and simplifies the building of connected systems.

 * [Grpc.Net.Client](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Grpc.Net.Client) – A gRPC client for .NET Core that builds upon the familiar `HttpClient`. The client uses new HTTP/2 functionality in .NET Core.
 * [Grpc.Net.ClientFactory](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Grpc.Net.ClientFactory) – gRPC client integration with `HttpClientFactory`. The client factory allows gRPC clients to be centrally configured and injected into your app with DI.
 
-Please note that gRPC for .NET does not replace [gRPC for C#](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/src/csharp) (gRPC C# API over native C-core binaries). These implementations coexist and share many of the same APIs to avoid lock-in. There are currently no plans for one implementation to replace the other one. gRPC for C# is the recommended solution for frameworks that gRPC for .NET does not support, such as .NET Framework.

+## gRPC for .NET is now the recommended implementation!

+Starting from May 2021, gRPC for .NET is the recommended implemention of gRPC for C#. The original [gRPC for C#](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/src/csharp) implementation (distributed as the `Grpc.Core` nuget package) is now in maintenance mode and will be deprecated in the future.

 ## To start using gRPC for .NET
 
 The best place to start using gRPC for .NET is the gRPC template that comes with .NET Core 3.0. Use the template to [create a gRPC service website and client](https://docs.microsoft.com/aspnet/core/tutorials/grpc/grpc-start).

-- avoid use of native code
-- ability to use one of the newer .NET Frameworks: grpc-dotnet requires at least .NET Core 3+ or .NET 5+ (.NET Core 3.1 LTS was released in December 2019 so legacy stacks might still be using an older framework)
-- want seamless integration with ASP.NET Core 3, dependency injection etc.
-- features available (see breakdown)
-- performance (while data we have data that seems to indicate that grpc-dotnet peforms at least as well as Grpc.Core, we strongly encourage to run your own benchmarks if performance matters for your application)
+Here are some key points in which the two implementation differ:
 
+- grpc-dotnet avoids the use of native code (while Grpc.Core use the native C-core library internally)
+- grpc-dotnet requires a newer version of .NET (see the "Framework supported" section)
+- grpc-dotnet server integrates seamlessly ASP.NET Core (and allows e.g. dependency injection)
+- performance (while data we have data that seems to indicate that grpc-dotnet peforms at least as well as Grpc.Core, we strongly encourage to run your own benchmarks if performance matters for your application)
+- features available (see breakdown below)
 ## Frameworks supported
 
 Grpc.Core supports a wide range of .NET Framework versions, included some very old ones. A more detailed overview is [here]( https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/src/csharp#supported-platforms)
