Microsoft naming question: Is this a completely different product or is it the next iteration of visual studio?
Because if it is the latter, I will be saddened beyond limits. Visual Studio (in its current form) is one of the products from Microsoft that I highly value. It is arguably the best IDE on the planet right now.
- achn 7y agoNo, this is more like taking VS Code (already an electron app) and integrating a fully web-based backend. VS desktop is not going away any time soon.
- sparsely 7y agoFrom the screenshots it looks as though it is based on Visual Studio Code, which is a remarkably efficient electron app and different product to Visual Studio.

- fenring 7y agoIt looks more like online version of VS Code + some integration with VS Code/Visual Studio - work in browser or import your settings/envirnoment into local IDE.
- LandR 7y agoI think Rider is better now, Visual Studio for me is now so slow and it hangs / crashes multiple times a day. Rider is rock solid and basically has Resharper included and has better extensions.
- throwaway744678 7y agoAs said above, it looks like an online VSCode + remote containers on Azure to run your apps. And it may also be accessed from inside Visual Studio. I can't see them deprecating the classical VS IDE, for at least the following reasons: - we will always need tools to develop native applications - some applications can't realistically or practically run in remote containers (eg. video games) - some organizations won't accept their source code to be uploaded anywhere else than on company machines
