Microsoft wants to sell Visual Studio, this is why Visual Studio Code will never get a GUi Designer, or have easy compile options for C#.

Hell just recently they were trying to take away hot reload to keep that feature as a paid feature only part of VS

I am aware of the community edition, which the most recent versions have a VERY restrictive license on the acceptable uses for the community edition

The fact this edition exists does not change my point, or really add anything of value to the conversation

Ah yes, VS' hot reload that insists on popping up a dialog every time a file changes. Garbage.

Visual Studio Code only needs to be good enough for a Cloud IDE kind of scenario for Azure workloads (it started that way as Monaco anyway), anything beyond that is a gift so to speak.

That's true.

I only really started liking .NET when I stopped using visual studio a few years ago.
