It's about getting developers back on the MS platform.
e.g. if VS Code and the idea of MS supporting OSS was around 5 years ago, perhaps Windows phone might have had enough apps and been successful.
- bunderbunder 9y agoTo extend on that, dotnetcore is dead in the water without a decent and supported cross-platform development experience. Visual Studio and vsmac get the job done for now, but for the long run they need something that also works on linux and is consistent across all three platforms.
- Fuzzy_Logic 9y agoVSCode and the dotnet cli tooling fill this role on Linux. The tools are consistent across all three platforms.
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoI've had no end of trouble using .NET on Linux in the past couple of years. Most of my existing projects are broken, too.
- oaiey 9y agoActually the C# plugin for VisualStudio Code does an amazing job supporting .NET Core (on any platform). I stopped using VisualStudio in favor of Code in regards of .NET Core development.
- Sean1708 9y agoI think bunder's point is that VSCode is the "something that also works on linux and is consistent across all three platforms".
- oaiey 9y agoOh. Yes. Agree, it can be read like that :)
- bunderbunder 9y agoThanks. Yeah, that was my point exactly.
