Maybe I misread the article, but it sounds like you're not using Visual Studio for Mac. If not, you should. I see no need at all to use parallels for "hard core C#" stuff, when the MSFT IDE on the Mac is extremely good already, and getting better all the time. Basically, unless you're doing WPF and other 'native' UI stuff - which, from your mention of services, you aren't - then just use the native C# IDE. Despite nearly 15 years of C# development I ditched Windows about 3-4 years ago at home and all my personal projects are done entirely in C# on the Mac (except for a couple of forays into Java - ugh, type erasure ). :-)

Good point. I am used to doing a lot of WPF apps but not with this new company. I should jump to VS for MAC. I just couldn't bring myself to abandon windows all together.
