What is the issue with using Visual Studio Community Edition? Or if not on Windows, using VS Code with the plugin. All free.

The issue that it is free as in beer but not open source as in MIT.

I think you mean open source as in GPL, given that MIT doesn't force to give the source code, hence why it is beloved for commercial products.

Well, the C# DevKit has to fix quite some bugs. I love it but it needs more work.
