I love Visual Studio but after having worked with python quite a lot and being involved in the local developer community (IN NEOhio, NYC, and starting into Southern Maine) I think I've only ever meet two python developers who used windows as there development Os. I'm not holding my breath but if MS would port VS to OS X/Linux it would be really cool. I don't know that a good business case could be made for it though.
- orng 13y agoOn the other hand perhaps something could be done about Python so that we who are forced to develop Python on Windows stop being second-class citizens in the Python world? ButI agree. VS is an awesome IDE and the more operating systems it would be available on the better.
- xradionut 13y agoYou are fighting various other teams in Redmond/power users that have issues with OSS and technology that's cross platform and not from the Mothership. Python/Iron Python would have been a great default language for administrative scripting , but nope, they had to reinvent the wheel with PowerShell. (I've had MVPs yell at me for discussing data analysis with Python, even on Windows.)
- ygra 13y agoPowerShell is a very nice language in its own right, though.
- farinasa 13y agoI agree and am in the same boat. I don't mind windows, but for dev, linux is much more convenient. Also wanted to say hello from NEO.
