Visual studio essentials for mac review

I gave it a good three hours of testing: the install was easy, until I needed to update Mono. Visual Studio Code is an integrated development environment (IDE) that runs on Mac - as well as Linux and Windows (for some reason). All without conceding to Boot Camp but it looks like that time has not yet come. I was going to dump my slow Windows 7 box containing my decked out Visual Studio 2012 - extensions and all - and my dev onto my super fast 4K iMac. And now that it has arrived … well, it really isn’t Visual Studio for Mac. But once I gained confidence in their sensibilities, I was thrilled.
