Can You Name Top C# IDEs Provided by Microsoft? I Couldn't

C# coder looking for a job?

Can you name the top IDEs for C# development provided by Microsoft?

The editor of Visual Studio Magazine couldn't.

I learned my inadequacy while browsing the morning tech news when piqued by "Top 20 C# Interview Questions and Answers" on the site of Simplilearn, an online bootcamp and certification training provider.

I'm just a writer and a hapless, inept coding hobbyist, so I didn't expect to be able to answer any questions ... until I saw question No. 7: "Mention the important IDEs for C# development provided by Microsoft."

That, I thought, I can handle. I couldn't.

In fact, I had never even heard of some of the answers:

  • MonoDevelop
  • Visual Studio Code (VS Code)
  • Browxy
  • Visual Studio Express (VSE)
  • Visual Web Developer (VWD)

I was kind of surprised by the omission of Visual Studio -- that was my go-to first guess. But I suppose VSE fits that bill as it was kind of morphed into Visual Studio Community edition, according to Wikipedia: "In 2013, Microsoft began supplanting Visual Studio Express with the more feature-rich community edition of Visual Studio, which is also available free or charge. The last version of the Express edition is 2017."

Browxy sent me to a web search, though. I'd never heard of it and I can confirm it has never been mentioned in the digitized pages of Visual Studio Magazine, which has been publishing for decades, albeit mostly in a print version.
