Visual Studio for Mac
-
So, apparently Microsoft is now making a Visual Studio for Mac product.
However, looking at it, it sounds like it's actually a product formerly named Xamarin Studio that has been reskinned to look like Visual Studio, so there's no telling what differences there will be.
-
@powerlord It doesn't even look re-skinned. They just slapped a new name on MongoDevelop / Xamarin Studio / whatever it's called.

At least we can still count on MSDN links going bad.

The URL might be misspelled, or the page you're looking for is no longer available.

I kind of like Xamarin Studio. It's not Visual Studio though.

seems like it is now.

@slapout1 It's kind of awful.
I used MonoDevelop right out of Uni, and had a fantastic time with it. It was free, easy to use, and just a really good product.
Then Xamarin took over the mono project, and renamed the application, and repurposed it almost entirely for mobile: I couldn't even get my code to run in it anymore.
Maybe it improved in the years since then, but it was truly awful for a while. Maybe Microsoft will fix it?

AFAIR last time they had a "for Mac" product line, it didn't go too well.
