Looks like a promising alternative to Rstudio on a Windows platform. If only it was available on Linux...

Team lead here - yep, we'd love to do a VSCode/R version as well. If you want to lend a voice, take our R IDE survery and upvote that question:

Visual Studio will be coming to Linux

Really?

There are no such plans. But we have VS Code, which is great lighter weight IDE that's cross platform. Check it out here:

It has great support for js, node, go, .net etc. already. We'll hopefully add Python & R support soon.

I've heard a great number of rumors regarding bringing Visual Studio (full) to Mac OS X and Linux. Many from Microsoft folks. Not saying they have to be true but I should be shocked if it wasn't at least being researched and looked at.

Personally speaking I would love for that to happen. There is room for both an XL IDE and a XS IDE imho.
