It's not really VS on Mac, though. It's just a rebadged Xamarin Studio. I can't really call that amazing.

Hi there, Rajen Kishna here, Product Manager on Visual Studio for Mac. If you haven't tried it out yet, I would definitely say check out the released version of Visual Studio for Mac. It has support for mobile apps with Xamarin, but adds so much more to build web apps and services with .NET Core and even games with Unity. We also announced preview support coming very soon for Docker and Azure Functions and are definitely planning on adding more over time.

Hi, a minor procedural point (I'm a mod here): it's good to say this once in a thread, but repeating it after that breaks the feeling of normal conversation, so could you please not? Experience shows that users figure it out.

I haven't seen his other comments yet so the heads up helped me understand the context of his comments better.

Yes, there's a tradeoff with redundancy but overall it lowers the signal/noise ratio.
