I just finished working on a .NET backend for a year and a half on mac w/ vscode, I found the experience to work pretty well. I did however choose to run a cloud windows VM to work with .NET Framework 4.7 libraries that needed to be integrated into the project, but after a few months worth of work I was back 100% on mac.
Unfortunately, if you have to reach back further than .net core or standard then you'll need to work in a windows environment – Cloud VMs are pretty cool and cheap if you don't want to use your hardware for a partition.
- uticus 4y agoUnderstood. The .NET Framework stuff will be kicking around for a while yet, but newer stuff (especially backend work) is undoubtedly moving towards .NET 6 (or whatever LTS is desired). I'm curious if you had team members with similar setups, and how well the team worked together with that setup?
- droobles 4y agoMost team members had Windows machines as their main workstation with Visual Studio, so it was no problem with them as long as they had all the runtimes and toolchains installed.
