It's not GA yet (only Visual Studio 2017 for Windows is GA today) but we have shipped an update so Visual Studio for Mac Preview 4 is now available. Details: https://blog.xamarin.com/better-apps-visual-studio-2017/

So this is full, 100% Visual Studio for Mac (soonish), or is it Xamarin Studio rebranded?
Visual Studio 5.0 was very responsive. Visual Studio 2015 is not as responsive. Nowadays it seemes a bit bloated, even after disabling unused plugins and features.
Switched to CLion and Rider, which are not known for their speed, but feel more responsible than VS to me. That and a more affordable price and cross-platform support.

Visual Studio for Mac will be our Mac IDE going forward and will grow in features, sure its past is Xamarin Studio but its future will have A LOT of investment so its worth checking out in Preview 4.
