I miss visual studio.

Moving from .NET on windows to Java on Linux is not fun.

VS > Eclipse

    Eclipse is a blight on the dev community... Use intelliJ idea, as suggested above

    Well, you could also just continue using .NET on Linux

    Just saying

    @Cheeseypi @MonkeyParade yes that was my preference but regretfully it's not my choice.. Intellij idea with remote debug needs paid license. And I don't see the management pitching in

    Huh. Remote debugging needs ultimate? :o well that's news to me...

    Idea > anything else

    @ilikeglue speaking as a person who uses the cli and generally hates ides... Yep, 100% agree. Java development is so nice with it.

    Overall, the jetbrains ides are works of art

    Consider VS Code? It's fairly good for .NET (at least .NET Core, which is what I've used it for). The C# language services integration is pretty nice.

    Full VS (not vs code) is on Linux as well, afaik.

    I love Eclipse!
    ... Well.. actually I really like Eclipse with E-P-I-C. Which is the best Perl IDE available.
    For anything else, Eclipse has become rather cumbersome...

    @piehole since when? I knew it was available on macosx, in a castrate version. VS ide is an enormous project and would be epically big to port

    @piehole it is on Mac but don’t think it’s on Linux yet

    @refex the Mac version isn’t to bad really, not come across anything missing i needed apart from support for vb.net projects (I only use them to store xml because it saves messing around escaping stuff)

    @gruff Microsoft hasn’t made it’s Visual Studio Open Source. So it isn’t available for Linux.

    But you can download and install “Visual Studio Code” for Linux.

    See: https://code.visualstudio.com/downl...

    @piehole as others mentioned, you're probably thinking of Visual Studio for Mac, which isn't really a VS. It's basically just a renamed Xamarin Studio

    VS itself probably won't come to Linux (or Mac, for that matter) anytime soon, considering it's a full WPF app, which heavily relies on DX and GDI+

    VS Code + OmniSharp however work surprisingly well together and can definitely compete with a full-blown .NET IDE

    @Yamakuzure even if they did open-source it, that wouldn't magically make it available on other OS's ^^

    @Krokoklemme of course not. However, that wasn't the point. 😉

    @Yamakuzure well, it kinda sounded like it was ^^

    @Krokoklemme now that you have said that, Nvidia drivers aren't open source either, but available for Linux...
    😕
