Visual Studio for macOS – Used?

2 points by r00tanon ↗ HN
I was so hopeful about the latest version, but, yeah, still pretty much unusable. Do the developers who build VS2019 for macOS actually use it? I can't believe they do.

One example: the "Unit Test" widget has no search/filter. Why is this useful? Well, the only way to debug a test is to find it in the widget - then right-click to get a "debug test" command.

You have to scroll through every test in a nested tree (containing possibly hundreds or thousands in a real project). There is no way to search.

Why not just add a context menu to the code editor when in a test fixture? No, although doable in the Windows version, not possible in the macOS version.

I conclude therefore that the team building VS for macOS either have no unit tests (very possible) or they simply don't use the product.
