The first release of the project system ("15.0") was heavily focused on supporting .NET Core scenarios and parity with VS 2015 project.json tooling. This will continue through the Visual Studio 15.x.x updates and releases. In 16.0, we'll start focusing on feature parity with the legacy project systems in csproj.dll and msvbprj.dll, where the aim will be to allow a seamless open of existing projects with zero conversions or upgrades.
