What would full Visual Studio get you that VSC does not? IMO, the main awesomesauce of VS, and its advantages over other IDEs and editors, are
1. The first-in-class debugger
2. Intellisense
3. Really good support for Windows-specific technologies like Win32 and COM
VSC has 1 and 2 either now, or on its roadmap. As for 3, why do you want to develop for Windows on a Mac? I guess I don't understand what you need that VSC isn't already giving you, or planning to.
- duaneb 10y agoRefactoring. Does that come with Intellisense? I've found that even 'rename this symbol' is extremely hard to find support for even in static languages.
- Analemma_ 10y agoIt does, but it requires support from language services so it's language dependent (just because a language has syntax highlighting, it may not necessarily have 'rename symbol' support)
- softawre 10y agoVS Code does good renames (across project) in TypeScript, at least. VS still has a ton more features though.
- rayiner 10y agoNot guzzling battery life at idle would be a good start.
- to3m 10y agoI don't appear to be able to put the debugger windows wherever I want in VSCode, let alone create additional ones... so I'd say that VSCode isn't really a substitute :(
- tomc1985 10y agoVisual GUI editor (though that was a bigger deal in the past) First-in-class C# support Refactors Object browser Hit "F1" to get help on that function Search everywhere Templates / Code library MSDN is very thorough (if wordy), lots of examples and documentation * * * I use VSCode at work a bit; it's faster than Atom but not as fast as sublime. It's a decent code editor, I guess if I was full-on JS I'd love it but it's still kinda eh Lots of good progress though; I definitely have my eye on this one
