From an outsider’s perspective, it seems like MS (meaning the “new” MS under Nadella) is more aligned under VS Code than their traditional Visual Studio product. I don’t doubt that Visual Studio will continue to be developed, but it would surprise me to see MS direct Rust resources specifically to it when they’ve already dedicated a lot of work towards Rust in VS Code. (This is coming from someone who feels mild resentment at how much better the Rust editing experience is in VS Code than his preferred editors.)

I made a quick SDK for an API I built in C#, not too long ago. VSCode was surprisingly a much better experience.

Has Microsoft actually dedicated a lot of work to Rust in vsc? They haven't contributed significantly to the rust-analyzer project, which owns the vsc extension. > The following companies contributed significantly towards rust-analyzer development: Ferrous Systems Mozilla Embark Studios freiheit.com https://rust-analyzer.github.io/ https://rust-analyzer.github.io/

VS is still very much a flagship product for Microsoft.

  I didn’t say it wasn’t! However, if I was MS, I would look at the prevailing winds: it’s good to have one flagship, and even better to have another that doesn’t have the historical (technical, sentimental) baggage of your older one.

But seriously, don't MS already have form on the .Net LSP? I can remember the furore but not the details, something about pulling back some VSCode functionality for Visual Studio.
