I really like what Microsoft is doing but what I don't understand is why are they ignoring Linux based OS, I mean why visual studio is not available for Linux?
Yes, Microsoft is doing great job :) Visual Studio is Windows only because Microsoft also wants you to buy the Windows license, it is simply one of the main streams of money for Microsoft ;)
I wouldn't say they're ignoring Linux. Sure there's no Visual Studio, but the VS Code is arguably getting better and better for majority of coding-related tasks thanks to its vast extension ecosystem. And it's available on Linux. Personally, I look at Visual Studio as more of a Windows-focused IDE - something a bit similar to e.g. XCode on MacOS.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
