Through P/Invoke, sure. But WinForms, WPF, and UWP (and Silverlight, and XNA) are not part of .NET Core by-design. Though I assume someone will port Xamarin over, if they haven't done already. I'd love to see SDL support so OpenRA can have another build target.

It would be nice to see Winforms and WPF pulled out into their own projects on top of .Net core. Both could do with some cross platform open source love.

WinForms is, unfortunately (in my opinion), a hack on top of Win32/hWnds, the fact that every Control wraps a top-level hWnd window is a source of performance issues. It needs a fundamental re-thinking... but Xamarin Forms is a better concept, it just needs a Win32 target.

I thought Xamarin Forms was for phones?

This is pretty cool and I was excited to hear about it. But this release also changes the way unit testing integrates with the tooling, so now my suite of 1000+ nunit tests won't run via the 'dotnet test' command, nor in visual studio 2017. If not for that, we would have upgraded today. Eventually the nUnit team will release a test runner that works with the new tooling, but in the meantime, we will stay on preview2…

Yep, they are working on it, but won't say when it'll be released.
