8 months ago. It open and load all kind of projects but it's not the same as VS on Windows. But I'll take a look of current version, maybe now I'm wrong.

It's not the same as the Windows one, no. But it's a fully FLEDGED .net IDE. I've been using it to write .NET apps and utilities to run on my Linux server for over a year... See github.com/webreaper for examples.

Yeah, it's good alternative, but that's why I'm using VS Code... because it's the same no matter if you work on Win/Linux/Mac. No need to switch and rethink how work on each platform.

I use VS2017 all day at work, and VS for Mac when I code at home, and switching isn't a problem, as much as anything because OSX and Windows are different anyway.
