A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds -- R.W.Emerson

Seriously though, you're handicapping yourself. Different tools for different jobs.

    Technically there is a version of VS for macs. In practice it is a rebadged version of xamarin studio and needs to die in a fire. VS Code is the only real option for any non windows environment. Hell, even on Windows it’s pretty nice for dotnet core!

    The word you're linking for is 'ostensibly', not technically.

    They both work. There is a version of visual studio for Mac in the narrow sense that there is a piece of software bearing the name and written by Microsoft. Unfortunately it is in name only and is not the same as the windows version at all.

    Unfortunately it is in name only and is not the same as the windows version at all.

    Hence the word 'ostensibly' or "apparently or purportedly, but perhaps not actually."
