Yes it is. Although, is .Net fully open sourced yet? or still in the process? I'm not so sure you can build an IOS app quite yet in visual studio?

With xamarin you can.

Has been open sourced but needs work to be compatible with other platforms.

The provided link is for those with an MSDN subscription. I'm waiting for the Community Edition to appear.

I would have thought that community would replace express, but there still seems to be an express edition.

You can use Express at work (5+ devs) but not Community.

I believe that's referring to Xamarin and Cordova, which are now built into VS2015. Xamarin still requires a Xamarin subscription to compile and deploy the apps, though.

On the other hand, they might also be talking about the new Universal Windows Platform bridges [1], which let you port your Android, iOS, Win32 and Web apps to native Windows apps.
