Uninstalling Sublime Text 3...
I'm a pretty heavy user of IntelliJ but would never ever uninstall or not use Sublime Text, its like comparing apples to oranges. Any decent developer would know when to use either to be more productive.

#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
When most companies say free they mean free of charge, if they want to say open source they say open source, because that’s the term the world understands. Basically only the FSF uses free to mean Free Software.
Open source doesn't imply free (or libre, if you prefer)
Yeah, I know, that’s my point. The distinction is the reason companies don’t like to use confusing terms: “free” has only one meaning for them in the context of software.

#44A real question, not for flaming but just for understand: is free as in beer or in freedom? I mean, is it also open-source?
Looks like it's just free as in beer for now. Who knows what will happen a few months/years from now when it doesn't have a huge userbase and Microsoft isn't interested in continuing to support it alone.
I don't think it would be shocking to see it open sourced. Microsoft has been making a lot of changes on this front: http://microsoft.github.io/.

This was posted 10 minutes ago and you commented 5 minutes ago. Given I tried to download it and it failed with some weird error message on their site (not to mention registration walls suck) the logical conclusion is that you are not serious about your comment. That then begs the question why you would post such a comment. Looking at your submission history, one could easily assume you work for Microsoft. If that is…
Their comment wasn't based on using it but simply based on "Visual Studio on something other than Windows" more than likely.
Registration walls are only a bad idea when you care that a product reaches as far as possible. Given "Visual Studio on OSX/Linux" is going to drive humongous amounts of interest the extra metadata they get from the registration wall is worth annoying a few people.
On a side note several people have said that it is likely not available yet.

#46I'm getting a weird error: AADSTS50020: User account 'me@captnemo.in' from external identity provider 'live.com' is not supported for application 'caf83767-0da8-454f-ae8d-77f63deaf359'. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant. Please sign out and sign in again with an Azure Active Directory user account. I'm guessing only proper microsoft accounts are allowed? (@outlook.com, @live.com etc). I…

#49Tried -- failed. Login through MS, then get screen that it's unavailable. Come on, MS.
It is a bit strange that Microsoft keeps wanting me to log in for things like this. I'm not sure. If any Microsoft engineers happen to be scanning this thread, it correctly redirected me to our organizations login page for me to use my standard credentials, but failed after with a generic Bad Request error.
As countless others have stated it's not live yet but will be "later today". The login only allows Microsoft employees to access it.

#50Satya Nadella is taking the right decisions for Microsoft. I don't think Steve Ballmer would've done this.
