I'm also curious about Visual Studio for Mac. I'm assuming it uses Mono under the hood or is it .NET core? Is the goal of Visual Studio for Mac to reach feature parity with VS for Windows or does it have a different goal?
I build developer tools and services at Microsoft (currently Codespaces, Live Share, IntelliCode) and maintain some OSS projects (CodeTour, GistPad, CodeSwing, WikiLens)
That’s a good question. I believe it’s Mono, but I’m not actually an expert on VS for Mac. Regarding parity, I believe the team is very focused on making mobile and web (ASP.NET Core) development awesome. So I’m not sure if parity itself is a goal, but they’re very keen to know what capabilities are missing that would help address the aforementioned goals. If you’ve got feedback there, I will make sure to pass it on to the team!

Ahh, I'm not currently using it, was more curious. 😉 Thanks for the info!
