>I have always regretted the fact that Java and Linux did not have anything on par with what Visual Studio provides.

Linux has had JetBrains IDEs for a long time now.

In any case, without Xamarin being ported to Linux and tied to VS, the embrace you're talking about is shortly followed by the other two "E"s.

Have you ever tried Jetbrains IDEs on Linux? The font support in their java swing app is so horrible it's unbearable.

I use PyCharm all the time. But... I do use a patched Java Virtual Machine to make it work well with Infinality. Yes, by default, fonts suck.
