Fans of cross-platform coding will be happy to know that Visual Studio, a \u201ca true mobile-first, cloud-first development tool for .NET and C#,\u201d will arrive for Mac during the Connect() conference in November. The move places Microsoft\u2019s IDE on Macs. The IDE follows Visual Studio Code<\/a>, Microsoft\u2019s code editor, to OS X.<\/p>\n

Why is Microsoft seemingly abandoning the quest for Windows hegemony? The writing is one the wall: cloud computing is there future and tools like AWS and Azure are quickly replacing the local server. Microsoft is losing out to tools like Docker and Heroku on the web and it\u2019s only a matter of time before coders are more comfortable with their MacBooks and VIM than with Windows.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey make their money off Azure and other services. In other words, they are making their money mainly off of developers now and its in their best interest to get on the good side of devs which is why they suddenly have a vested interest in open sourcing tools and helping Mac\/Linux,\u201d wrote Hacker News user<\/a> BoysenberryPi.<\/a><\/p>\n

The IDE is very similar to the one found on Windows. In fact, that is presumably the point. By making it easy for OS X users to switch back and forth between platforms Microsoft is able ensure coders can quickly become desktop agnostic or, barring that, give Windows a try again.
