OmniSharp powered intellisense and other features are easy enough to stick in VS Code. It&#x27;s easier to package and deploy than MonoDevelop. Much easier (at least for me) to write extensions for VS Code. I see it as a win-win. MonoDevelop has always been a frustrating experience for me. While VS Code isn&#x27;t perfect, I&#x27;m less frustrated using it than MonoDevelop.
