No debugger? As an editor it looks very nice.

Our prototype had functioning debugging with breakpoints/locals/etc. It will find its way into the main branch in the next few weeks.

How do you hope to win with now free ( for single user) Visual Studio?

I could see the cross-platform capability being a draw for coding for mono.

I would love to have a free for education use cross-platform minimalist IDE for C# that I could use for middle school programming classes I teach.

Visual Studio has been effectively free for almost ten years with the Express Editions launching in 2005 (which can be used for commercial purposes).

The only thing that has really changed is that Microsoft has re-merged all of the individual Express Editions into one coherent [free] product, and they have enabled things like Visual Studio Extensions.

The biggest "problem" I have with the free versions is lack of Microsoft unit testing. Aside from the differences aren't that great (and I have Visual Studio Ultimate at work, and I still rarely notice the differences).

As to what their USP will be: I would imagine that it works on Mac and Linux. It is cross-platform, so it works on all three of the major OSs unlike Visual Studio (but somewhat like Sublime).

Founder of fluentCODE here. Really happy to see this posted, we just pushed really hard last night to get the site up. Lots of good comments -- I'll just add that we will be a lot more than just a C#/VB/JS editor. We've got plans to build CodeEngines for F#, TypeScript, CoffeeScript, CSS/SCSS/SASS/LESS, PHP, python and lots of framework specific bits for each of those. We're a small team working hard on a product we…

FYI, Go is missing a full featured IDE and Go is picking up steam. Not much competition in this space yet although JetBrains I think started putting real effort into the plugin.

I really like Go and have definitely felt there's room for great integrated tooling there.

I want to do Go as one of our early code engines. We'll probably start off using srclib for early Go support and then build up some bigger features around the compiler tools, go fix, and so forth.
