Visual Studio for Mac Preview

I agree, but would add that I think their core motivation is to drive developers to microsoft azure. I am sure they believe they would love mac users to buy more MS software but targeting non-ms devs this hard seems like they want to compete with AWS && google.

AWS UX is a dumpster fire. Azure was quite nice from what I can tell. I love VS code and am a mac user. I also strongly dislike AWS as it is extremely complex and annoying. If there was amazing tooling, I would consider switching from digital ocean to azure.

I'm currently undergoing a very long evaluation of both products. I agree, the AWS UX is a dumpster fire. Even simple things seem to make no sense, and if I had to guess without checking I'd say they went through a hyper growth of their cloud.

I also agree that their long-play is Azure. You just wait, they'll put a major investment into IntelliJ or Eclipse to make it more Azure friendly too.
