There is an incredible UserVoice thread that's been going for years asking for a Linux version of Visual Studio. It's such a microcosm of Microsoft problems.
- Naming confusion between three completely different products Visual Studio, Visual Studio for Mac, and Visual Studio Code.
- Complete failure to comprehend how old VS's codebase is. "Dotnet Core runs on Linux, right?"
- Most people use about 10% of the functionality it offers. Unfortunately no two users use the same 10% of it's features.
