It’s not a mistake. VSCode will absolutely catch up if it hasn’t already.
Visual Studio for Mac (Xamarin) was already a really niche product with limited appeal. Microsoft bought the company to bring more of the .NET ecosystem under its umbrella. The problem is, the .NET ecosystem is increasingly irrelevant.
Why have yet another IDE when all the .NET specific stuff can live in an extension? VSCode is the most popular editor on the planet and it deserves that status.
I don’t think Microsoft is all that concerned about the survival of .NET. Cloud computing is where the money is. The new business model is that developers write the apps however they want and deploy to Azure.
