Why not the stable version (2019) instead of a literal preview...

I'm on a Mac, so decided to give it a try. It's an interface overhaul, why wouldn't it be able to launch something though?
I tried to install a previous version. It started installing, and then ... just failed. With no description of what failed, and how to deal with it.
So eventually I gave up.
WHat's launch.json and where is it described? And why can't it figure stuff automatically like Rider? And why does VSCode create a separate launch.json and why can't the two share the same one?
So many questions, so few answers.

Visual Studio for Mac is a completely unrelated product that happens to share a name; when people say Visual Studio without any qualifiers they _probably_ don't mean the Mac version.
Microsoft overall has a terrible naming sense, with occasional good accidents.

Visual Studio is Windows only. VS for Mac is an unrelated program which used to be named Xamarin Studio.
VSCode kinda works (but also creates a launch.json file somewhere).
Rider just works. If it creates something somewhere, I couldn't care less (as I couldn't care less for any other IntelliJ product which tend to just work).
Also. Obligatory rant by Casey Muratori on Visual Studio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC-0tCy4P1U
