Today we are announcing the retirement of the Visual Studio for Mac IDE. Visual Studio for Mac 17.6 will continue to be supported for another 12 months, until August 31st, 2024, with servicing updates for security issues and updated platforms from Apple.
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.
