It's disappointing that they want it to be exclusive to VS (that giant turtle) right now, but it's a new Hot Reload feature. For most existing .NET devs, it's business as usual.

It may set a trend in which VS is pushed as the tool of choice to develop in .NET, which would be a total bummer. I'm a bit skeptical about this since they would be damaging their huge investment in VSCode and cmdline tools. As far as I know, Azure is still their priority. What happened to their leadership to cause such a reversal? Pressure to sell more VS licenses? Maybe, but it still seems doubtful.

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt until they either explain themselves better, or they release .NET 7 without any goodies to the cmdline devs.
