No Visual Studio IDE for Linux/macOS
- redhale 1y agoEven on Windows, I use Rider. It's just better imo, and it's not close. But then again I have not used VS deeply in a couple years.
- cranberryturkey 1y agoIs vs code different?
- pjmlp 1y agoCompletely, it is Electron based and focus is being a programmer text editor, not a full blown IDE. Even though there is there are Microsoft plugins for Visual Studio like capabilities, they are only a subset of everything that Visual Studio is capable of.
- cranberryturkey 1y agoI see. well vscode is open source. works on linux
- pjmlp 1y agoMicrosoft plugins aren't open source.
- estimator7292 1y agoThat's vscodium It's exactly the same as Google Chrome vs chromium. One is very much not the other
- johnisgood 1y agoI think it is a poor analogy. VS Code and Visual Studio IDE are fundamentally different products. One is a lightweight editor, the other is a full IDE with different architecture and capabilities. Chrome and Chromium are the same product type (browsers) where Chrome is built from Chromium source with proprietary additions[1]. A better analogy would be VS Code vs VSCodium, which actually mirrors Chrome vs Chromium: same codebase, one with Microsoft's proprietary bits removed, or Fedora vs RHEL. [1] Both Google Chrome and Chromium are maintained by Google.
- cranberryturkey 1y agoI think that's what he was saying. But VSCode is open source though, which he's wrong about. CHrome is not open source.
- johnisgood 1y agoGoogle Chrome is not open source indeed, but Chromium is, which is what Google Chrome comes from.
