Didn't realize the Linux version was offered through the official channels. That's something.
Still, to truly compete it would need to have Windows support too. And ideally real buy-in from at least one other major tech company.

edit:
If you want you can use Swift on Google Colab right now:

"Support" is the kicker - I consider C# and C++ to have Windows Support because the platform vendor publishes and provides support for their own developer tools.
Do you mean that, or maybe something closer to the level of "Support" where interested parties submit improvements, and platforms are included in the CI/CD process?
It's not from Microsoft directly, but it's worth noting that LSP support for Swift is under active development. VSCode is probably currently the second-best IDE for Swift development.
The IBM Swift Sandbox is no longer available as of January 2018.
