What is the issue with using Visual Studio Community Edition? Or if not on Windows, using VS Code with the plugin. All free.

Visual Studio for Mac is discontinued and will be retired next year:

Right. They rewrote the .NET plugin for VSCode as a replacement. It's reasonable.

Well, the C# DevKit has to fix quite some bugs. I love it but it needs more work.

Wasn’t there some issue with debugger on Non-Windows platforms?

The issue that it is free as in beer but not open source as in MIT.

I think you mean open source as in GPL, given that MIT doesn't force to give the source code, hence why it is beloved for commercial products.
