Even if that’s true, we’re talking about development environments here, so secretaries are irrelevant. I’ve been programming C++ and C# for decades, for me, visual studio is quite flexible and extensible.

I know it’s possible to integrate everything in Linux ecosystem. I just don’t want to waste my time connecting, integrating, and then supporting the setup that just works out of the box on Windows, with freeware visual studio.
