    I don‘t know, did anybody really need VS for Mac? I just use VS Code for everything. The latest preview of the MAUI extension finally killed the last use case for VS for me.

      Code is missing a lot that Studio fans think they need. Rider is excellent though. So between Code and Rider, .NET devs are well serve on Mac.

      I suspect that the success of Rider on the Mac is one of the reasons this got killed.

        There are a lot of projects, that are still in service, where you need VS or Rider. But that are largely legacy projects. The usual MVC code dump would be a good example.
