.NET Core is not listed

I wanted to create a new ASP.NET Core app targeting the new .NET Core 1.0.

First, in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3, I don't see .NET Core listed enter image description here

And this is what I'm seeing in project.json file. Looks like I'm targeing dotnet5.6 enter image description here

Is it safe to assume this is all correct?

And if this is correct, could it possibly be more confusing?

The pulldown has no meaning for .NET Core projects as it doesn't use it. Only what's in project.json matters for .NET Core / .xproj projects.

netcoreapp1.0 target framework moniker (short TFM) is .NET Core project for executables (ASP.NET Web Application or .NET Core Console Application). netstandard1.x (see this matrix for api surface of netstandard TFM) is for class libraries.

The import section just tells nuget to also restore packages which target dotnet5.6 (old TFM for .NET Core Library, which is now replaced with netstandard1.x) and portable-net45-win8, which are also compatible with .NET Core. These allow you to install packages which are compatible but are not yet repackaged for netstandard1.x.
