Visual Studio Code is an entirely different animal, built with JavaScript on top of node.js (like Atom).<p>MonoDevelop is a clone of Visual Studio written in C# which isn&#x27;t even remotely compatible with the mis-named Visual Studio Code.<p>If they want to port MonoDevelop to Visual Studio Code, they would have to re-write all the features from scratch.<p>At this point they might as well re-write Visual Studio to node.js and not waste time on porting MonoDevelop.<p>I hope it doesn&#x27;t happen. I certainly don&#x27;t want to develop on an IDE written on top of a God-awful language with a ridiculously slow run-time.
