Most people don't realize how convenient it is to build and maintain your entire codebase (iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Windows 8, web client, web server) all in one place (Visual Studio), mostly using C# and Typescript. Just have a Windows VM on your Mac. It truly is the best of both worlds.
- omegavesko 12y agoYeah, a huge part of why I still (mainly) run Windows at home is easy access to Visual Studio. With third party extensions (e.g. ReSharper), and even without them, it's probably the best single IDE I've ever used. I still use WebStorm + JS for frontend Web work, though. Would you say it's worth the switch to VS and TypeScript (though WebStorm supports TypeScript, too)?
- bkjelden 12y agoI haven't used WebStorm, but using VS for typescript was way better than using it for javascript. Developing typescript in VS is about as easy as developing C# in VS. Everything "just works".
- the_rosentotter 12y agoThe .Net/Visual Studio ecosystem has been looking increasingly compelling these last few years. But, I am old enough to remember evil Microsoft, so I will almost certainly never go there.
- miguelrochefort 12y agoVisual Studio with Web Essentials is awesome. http://www.asp.net/visual-studio/overview/2013/visual-studio-2013-web-editor-features-browser-link http://www.asp.net/visual-studio/overview/2013/visual-studio...
