That's not going to happen any time soon. Not because they don't want to but because the whole process would be monumentally complicated and expensive.
I suspect we'll see a new 100% managed code IDE in the next 3-5 years that will fit this area nicely. It'll have bits of Visual Studio in it and it may even be called Visual Studio but it won't be what we have now.

- freehunter 12y agoThey literally just said Visual Studio 2015 will run on Linux and Mac. --As people pointed out, this isn't true. I was confused by Ars Technica's headline declaring VS to be "cross platform". http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/11/visual-studio-2015-goes-even-more-cross-platform-with-clang-android-emulator/ http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/11/visual...
- custardcream 12y agoSource? AFAIK only .net will which is not visual studio.
- pritambaral 12y agoAre you confusing "Visual Studio 2015 ... uilding applications that run on platforms including Windows, Linux, iOS and Android." with "Visual Studio 2015 will run on"?
- freehunter 12y agoI was confusing "cross-platform" with "runs on", yeah. I thought that as Ars says Visual Studio is cross platform, that it would mean it runs on multiple platforms. A closer read indicates that may not be true. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/11/visual-studio-2015-goes-even-more-cross-platform-with-clang-android-emulator/ http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/11/visual...
