Hi there, Rajen Kishna here, Product Manager on Visual Studio for Mac. If you haven't tried it out yet, I would definitely say check out the released version of Visual Studio for Mac.

We also announced preview support coming very soon for Docker and Azure Functions and are definitely planning on adding more over time.
