VS community is free, as is SQL Express. Net Core is also open source and platform agnostic.

X Code is not a watered down version of something else. It’s the full application Apple uses themselves.

That was absolutely true when VS went by the "Express" moniker, but not today's "Community" edition. The difference between the paid (Pro) and free (Community) version is just licensing^. The Pro also comes with an MSDN subscription. MS is really going after the open source market, they've realized they were losing the future and embraced Linux/MacOS. FWIW, I use both Xcode and VS.

^and some "CodeLense" feature that I've never used.
