You cited this[1] GitHub issue. In the comment section, I see this user[1] has been commenting many times saying negative things about Microsoft's open source commitment. Including this comment[3] saying:
> Maybe it is time to fork .NET and to get something like AdoptOpenJDK, etc…
However, this person hasn't done anything but forking other people's repos. Its kind of funny and sad.

Organisational design defect - the .NET language is open-source and wants to be available on all platforms, on all devices and fundamentally an open programming language (ie all editors). The problem is the .NET SDK team is paid by the Visual Studio team. CVP ripped out SDK features to sell more Visual Studio product because the org is run as a profit centre that is stuck in a Ballmeresk Cold War with Jetbrains vs Satya “Azure is the future”
Moments after the public “reversal” blog post key engineers and product managers took to twitter to celebrate the victory and the community movement with expensive scotch. (“Thanks for your support”)
In Microsoft .NET Devs Anonymously Responds to Microsoft .NET Leadership> even newest .net 5 is much more cumbersome compared to eg. golang (important for startups).
FYI .NET 6 + C# 10 has a ton of work invested into removing the "enterprise boilerplate" experience and making the language and frameworks more akin to node or go in terms of effort/LoC required to spit out a program:

There's also a few epics that are specifically focusing on .NET as a compelling cloud framework:

In .NET Hot Reload Support via CLII believe the license for the VScode C# plug-in prohibits using it with VScodium.
I didn’t know this until recently when someone pointed it out.

Thought it was relevant since OP is talking about a Linux IDE for C#
In Bflat: C# as you know it but with Go-like tooling> Comes with .NET 6.0
So I guess the general release of Visual Studio 2022 will be in November 2021[1] when .NET 6.0 is scheduled for release. Can't believe .NET 7 is scheduled to be released the year after and .NET 8 the year after that.

It looks like a parsing issue where something in MS's automated process is replacing various parts of filenames with spaces. Looks like / and _ at a glance, but there could be more.
Just trying to prevent this type of comment, which I can only assume came from HN as nowhere in the Github issue does anyone mention disk space. -- https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/6381#issuecomment-8631...

191 points · Open discussionI may be misreading your comment, but in case you're not aware .NET 5 supports Windows 7 as a deployment platform:
https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/5.0/5...
And it does not specifically require any paid extended support contract from Microsoft to actually install and run.
In .NET MAUI: .NET Multi-Platform App UINo idea who's downvoting you. A lot of .NET effort is put into performance: value structs, value tasks, Span; generally, optimising code against various benchmarks.
This cycle they're focused on improving 'inner loop performance'. The inner loop of the dev cycle, that is. https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/5510
In .NET MAUI: .NET Multi-Platform App UII agree with the author about the slow inner loop experience. Recompiling the whole app to see browser changes gets tiring. The .NET team is planning a series of updates to address this in .NET 6. https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/5510
I also dislike the default workflow for dealing with Nuget forks. I switched to Paket for dependency management which makes this much simpler. https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/
