The so-called Visual Studio for Mac is really the old Xamarin Studio rebran=
ded.  Visual Studio for Mac has very few of the features of the actual Visu=
al Studio (for Windows 10).  That could change in the medium-to-long-term f=
uture, but not anytime real soon.

I occasionally take a survey as a Microsoft previewer/beta-tester for forth=
coming dot-releases of Visual Studio 2017.  Among that multitude of questio=
ns was one to prioritize whether Microsoft should port the actual Visual St=
udio to MacOS.  They have asked twice in the past year, so the concept is b=
eing debated as a potential priority at Redmond.  Once actual Visual Studio=
 is ported to MacOS year(s) from now, then plug-ins for actual Visual Studi=
o (on Windows 10) could conceivably be practical to be reworked & released =
somehow for MacOS's port of actual Visual Studio.
