Yeah, it's clear they're trying to "save face" in front of the open source community and become more developer-friendly (Bash on Windows too).
But I must say, ten years ago when I had to choose between Java and C# for a SCADA project I picked the latter because of the Visual Studio IDE which was already well above the competition (think Eclipse/NetBeans back then).
I'm glad they've brought it back for all open source software.
- mmgutz 10y agoI don't think it's so much "sav[ing] face" as much as it is getting the message out they fully support open source. The long term play is azure which is their big money maker. 1/3 of deploys on azure (IIRC) use linux images. Our startup got a huge credit to host on azure and we don't use .NET nor Windows. Competition is good.
