As a Xamarin developer, I'm really hoping that this plays well with Xamarin and thus liberates me from having to deal with the buggy and invasive Windows 10. I'd much prefer to be on Mac but once you're used to Visual Studio, Xamarin Studio is really a bitter pill to swallow.
Can't wait!
- txdv 11y agoWhat is bad abotu Xamarin Studio?
- JonathonW 11y agoIt's gotten better (especially recently), but Xamarin Studio tends to be pretty buggy-- I've seen basic project management tasks (like adding/moving files) crash the IDE; I've had syntax highlighting just stop working for files that compile fine; UI editors are slow, don't match the feature sets of the equivalent native editors, and occasionally break backwards compatibility with themselves (seriously; had the iOS UI editor wipe out some of its own generated code and break my build a couple weeks ago). Again, it's nowhere near as bad as it was about a year ago, but it's still the weak point of Xamarin's toolset (which is, otherwise, pretty great, at least for what we're doing with it).
