I don't understand. I've been using VS on Mac for the past 3 months to develop C# applications for a class of mine. Was that just a beta? What's so different about this?
Visual Studio vs Visual Studio Code. 2 different applications with really similar names. Visual Studio Code is lighter weight - more similar to Sublime/Atom.
They released this Visual Studio like a year ago, too. Might have been a "preview" or something? Free for all to download though.
Edit: Yeah, this is just their GA release
And now it is Visual Studio vs Visual Studio code vs Visual Studio for mac 3 different applications with really similar names.
It was probably the preview version, so yeah, pretty much the beta.
