Any reason why you didn't use Visual Studio for Mac? I've been using it for over a year, and deploying stuff to a Linux box using Mono. Works really well, and no need for Windows. 😁
Not sure when you tried it, but it's not that any more. I've never had any interest in Xamarin. Current version does full .Net projects, and also DotNetCore. It loads projects direct from VS2017 too.
8 months ago. It open and load all kind of projects but it's not the same as VS on Windows. But I'll take a look of current version, maybe now I'm wrong.
It's not the same as the Windows one, no. But it's a fully FLEDGED .net IDE. I've been using it to write .NET apps and utilities to run on my Linux server for over a year... See github.com/webreaper for examples.
Yeah, it's good alternative, but that's why I'm using VS Code... because it's the same no matter if you work on Win/Linux/Mac. No need to switch and rethink how work on each platform.
I use VS2017 all day at work, and VS for Mac when I code at home, and switching isn't a problem, as much as anything because OSX and Windows are different anyway.

VS for Mac is getting better all the time...
Hey Mark,
No reason at all actually. Haven't really given it a try yet.
You could make s post about your experience using it 😆.
Could do! Tbh, not much to say other than it works. 😁
For me it's kind of like learning a new tool, comparing it to Window's version could result in an interesting article.
IMHO it Works great an has a few advantages over VS Code. Have been using it professionally for a few years now.
I gived a try, but it's not VS at all. It's more Xamarin IDE with another name.
