Depends on what I’m photographing ie, if it’s work, such as a wedding or event, I can, and do, frequently switch between a 28mm and a 50mm all day, rarely resorting to anything wider or longer.

Out of my 10 Leica M lenses, 3 are 50mm, 2 are 28mm and 2 are 90mm, so to answer the question ‘is 50mm a core focal length?’, I’d say yes.  
Definitely.
