Visual Studio for Mac Retirement, replacement ?

[gbarr]

Recently MicroSoft announced the retirement of VS Code on Mac (see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/visual-studio-for-mac-retirement-announcement/ )

VS Code was popular with developers at my last employer and now retired I have used it for personal projects. 

I am a career long user of vi and vim and so had used vim-go prior to using VS Code. I still do use vim but the bulk of Go development has been done in VS Code for sometime.

So now I am looking for suggestions of a replacement, preferably free and something that has ability to at least syntax highlight other file formats.

The announcement says they're retiring Visual Studio for Mac, not Visual Studio Code.

Hi,

Naming is hard, esp. in MS land: VS Code is not VS for Mac (the full IDE) and the link mentions that VS Code will replace VS for Mac. So, luckily there is no need to find a replacement for VS Code :)

Tschüss,

Björn

Well that is a relief that I simply misread it.

Thanks,

One good replacement is Jetbrains Rider which works on Windows and Mac. I think on Linux as well.
