.Net is going cross platform. What are you going to use if you develop on OSX or Linux? It won't be VS

Unless of course they push to make VS cross platform. I wouldn't be surprised if this is in the works. There has been a huge push at MS to become more cross platform with their product offerings. They must know a lot of their developers run OSX with a Windows VM just to run VS. I know pretty much our entire team does that.

If Microsoft made VS cross platform, they would make a much more lightweight, modular IDE aimed at (initially) C#,VB,F# and javascript. They'd be able to leave out decades of that old COM/Win32/C++ cruft.

Essentially, this is what they would make. Or, they could simply buy this...

How does this compare to Brackets and Atom? A comparison table would be a useful addition to the website.

One major difference: It's a native app, so it will use less resources, be snappier, and able to handle bigger files.

Actually, this isn't the day and age where native code IDE can be presented to be advantageous. I think what's sensible is to assume that no thick-client IDE is sufficient for arbitrarily sized projects.

This looks interesting and I would love to try it so do you all have any plans of releasing a trial version or giving a trial period?

When we hit v1.0 we'll have a trial download available.

will the alpha version pricing still be available at that time?

If things go as planned, this pricing will go away before the v1.0 release.

Ruby?

Yep! It's in the backlog; to start we'll probably use srclib [1] under the hood to provide the code intel bits, and we'll do some special UI wrappers for bundler/gems. [1] https://srclib.org/

We've been working hard to make srclib's backend more powerful, and we've just started to build features that take advantage of the new backend. I've sent you an email, and we'd love to work more closely as srclib nears v1.0.

Awesome. Sounds good and I look forward to trying it.
