You still cannot use it for native GUI design, Forms, WPF, WinUI/UWP,... and thus no match for Blend/VS in this regard.


Well, people doing native GUI design and not doing it for mobile (where there is already XCode and the Idea-based Android IDE) are probably 1/100 of people doing web work, and of them most do it for Windows, so already have VS proper.


Well I was replying to

For me no support for native GUI designers is a weakness.


Yeah, I'm just saying for the target group it's not a major one :-)

Same way it's not a good COBOL environment either


If Microsoft on their dungeons plans to ever replace VS with VSCode, given the JS/Electron influence going on across the company, then this is surely part of the target group.


If they reach that point they could trivially slap in a form designer. It's not like those are hard...
