I didn't know it existed. Is it native (AppKit), webview/electron/etc-based or using some dotnet/mono weirdo UI framework abstraction?
I guess they feel VS Code has gotten good enough for dotnet stuff now.

- tailspin2019 3y agoIt was native! Which makes it all the more surprising. Personally I think it had a lot of potential, but perhaps they just decided they didn’t have sufficient focus/resources to compete with Rider.
- tpmx 3y agoI normally hate web-based desktop apps with a passion, but VS Code on Mac made me switch from Emacs after 25 years of continous usage. (Hat tip to 'Awesome Emacs Keymap - VSCode emacs keybinding with multi cursor support' - https://github.com/whitphx/vscode-emacs-mcx https://github.com/whitphx/vscode-emacs-mcx.) I can see how they want to focus on that. Can't wait for Microsoft to ruin it, like they always do with all great apps eventually. Presumably as the awesome people who created them moved on, instead of doing 'maintenance'. And then that pressure for increased monetization. I have a feeling Emacs will always be there if they do, though.
