How good was the visual studio for mac?
- isodev 3y agoVisual Studio for Mac is a (discontinued) Microsoft product.
- benburleson 3y agoI was confused for a minute, thinking the announcement was that VSCode was going away!
- jcpst 3y agoMaybe someone correct me if I’m wrong, but VS for mac just looked like a fork of the Xamarin IDE I used to use on Linux w Mono. I tried it and was not impressed.
- victorgama 3y ago> VS for mac just looked like a fork of the Xamarin IDE I used to use on Linux w Mono I second that. And VS for Mac was painfully slow. (I tried it years ago, not sure how it is nowadays)
- gabereiser 3y agoIt wasn’t a fork. It was one and the same. Xamarin was started by Miguel De Icaza [1], who also created Midnight Commander, GNOME, and Mono, the .Net runtime for Non-MS platforms. Xamarin was bought by Microsoft. Mono Develop became Xamarin IDE became Visual Studio for Mac. I know this because I contributed. Along with working alongside the grandfather of MonoGame. In 2010, .Net was in a weird place. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_de_Icaza https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_de_Icaza
