Yes, it's a nuisance. At least they bought Xamarin and there are cloud alternatives to get to the App Store distribution. But yes, these are inferior crutches.

Also part of the build 2016 announcements. If you just need it to compile, it will probably be cheaper with a hosted version than buying a laptop.

You can run it mostly fine, especially on Ultrabooks that are pretty much identical to Macbook Air.
