What sort of work are you doing that made you give up on C# on mac? Backend or games?

I haven't really tried to write serious C# code on macOS, but I did write some CLI tools, which was not bad. VSCode debugging works great too.

Obviously .NET is not supported as well as it should anywhere except Windows, but it seems to be getting better.

Backend with a lot of existing code that's still in .Net Framework using tech like WCF and Windows Services.

I could get away with doing dev directly on the Mac if I was _only_ working in .Net Core on our newer applications and if I was willing to use Rider. Neither of which are true.
