Re: Whats the point ?
@Dwarf - The point is to try to keep MS VS relevant to current users who may be developing C or C++ (and perhaps C#) code which has to run in a Linux machine "in the cloud". Without it, the existing user base will gradually abandon ship to use cross-platform tools.
It's not meant for Linux developers. It's meant for MS Windows developers who now find that legacy platform Windows skills don't get them very far in an industry that is going through another platform change like it did from mainframe to PC.
