I wouldn't bet my money on a Linux release
Really? They seem to be opening up quite a bit more with regards to Linux (.NET Core, WSL, etc).

You'd probably be better off going with JetBrains' Project Rider on Linux, if you were just doing general .NET work than waiting.
It still has a few bugs and hangs up on me once or twice a day. I think they should have those ironed out soon though.

As a touch typist, can you please explain how that would work for me?
As a touch typist, can you please explain how function keys are particularly relevant to touch typing? Stepping through the debugger is not typing, and function keys change role according to the selected app anyway. And when they are system function keys (brightness, volume, etc) they are even more irrelevant to typing and/or touch typing. Besides, there's nothing particularly hard about finding a touch based F6 key…
Stepping through the debugger is not typing,
I disagree. E.g. when you're deciding to step in vs. step past vs. step out vs. run etc.; finding the right key is extremely important.
...and I challenge anyone to hover their fingers over the respective keys continuously for hours without touching them, losing their alignment, or unnecessarily tiring the muscles of their hand.

CLion is like $8/month. That is the price of a couple of coffees. I think it is worth that IMHO.
Pricing for developer tools tend to look more reasonable when you amortize it over the year and put it in Starbucks terms. Same thing for hardware upgrades. There's no real excuse for not investing in good tools.
Having said that I think a community edition of CLion will be needed in the not too distant future as the competition in the C++ IDE space is improving with VS now free and Qt Creator.

So as for now it is the rebranded and polished Xamarin Studio - hopefully, they have improved it's usability as in the past it was pretty lacking compared to VS 2013/2015
As I understand it, Visual Studio for Mac is simply a re-branded Xamarin Studio and will continue to be. It includes the improvements they had planned for the next release but I doubt they will do a rewrite. I actually prefer Xamarin Studio over Visual Studio (on Windows) in some respects. For example, the Xamarin.Forms XAML previewer is much better. Looking forward to a full designer. P.S. I've got a four part blog…

The people who make film/game soundtracks need a LOT of ram, and fast disks, because they're using terabytes of samples in each project. Also massive has pretty low requirements. The main gripe musicians have with apple is the new OSX breaking their setup every year. The sandboxing in el capitan was particularly disastrous.
It sounds like you're basing this argument on hearsay and not personal experience (shocker.) I have various audio setups with different macs and interfaces and no OS update has broken anything with my setups since 10.6 era.

Personally I had to spend a few hundred dollars upgrading my audio software that worked in Mountain Lion so it would run on El Capitan. I'm still running into a few glitches in places.
