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.
