Really, for c#? I assumed that the type-inferencing in and extension methods would make proper IDE support of C# on a "light" platform like vscode impossible. How do you manage your vcproj file?
I figured the same! But it handles type inference, extension methods, using static, etc like a champ. Even does completion for project.json. I don't use vcproj since I just use dotnet core.
Don't recall ever hearing it got mothballed during development - though I do believe they've bent over and are going to support csproj files with .NET Core in the future as well.
