Microsoft’s phasing out Visual Studio for MacOS, force moves developers to Visual Studio Code
<p>I didn’t know about that, but apparently, <a href="https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/mac/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Visual Studio</a> was available for Mac for all these years. Well, that is about to change, because as <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/visual-studio-for-mac-retirement-announcement/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Anthony Cangialosi</a> from Microsoft announced yesterday, Visual Studio Mac bye bye.</p>

<p>To put it into perspective, we have to recall some important facts:</p>
<ol>
<li>Windows is the <a href="https://tomaszs2.medium.com/please-stop-laying-that-developers-prefer-macos-f36ef5d40ff" rel="noopener">most popular operating</a> system among programmers both for private and professional use</li>
<li>Visual Studio is the second most popular IDE for <a href="https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#technology" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">programmers</a></li>
</ol>
<p>Microsoft pulling the plug on the support for its OS competitor is really important news. But not in a way, you’d think about it.</p>
