I hope Visual Studio Code will change that situation.
It literally feels like Unity doesn't care about coders who work on Mac, and the fact that those coders have no really good options for code editors right now. Yet I've never seen a Unity dev even express the intention of doing this. and that all Unity had to do was pull their changes into their branch and bring Unity-MonoDevelop up-to-date, and the editor would be greatly improved. The original creators of MonoDevelop, Xamarin Studio, have repeatedly said publicly that modern Xamarin has fixed almost all of these types of problems in the original MonoDevelop. but those options have never seemed practical to me. I've talked to many developers who dual-boot, or work with Windows emulators, just so they can use Visual Studio with Unity from the Mac. I've been using it since 2011 and only yesterday did I realize that when you open the "attach to debugger" dialog, you have to choose an option on the dialog *within three seconds*, and if you don't, MonoDevelop will freeze and never recover.
It can be very fast and smooth at times, but it will often become sluggish and slow to respond, or will freeze completely. However, in almost every other respect, Unity-MonoDevelop on Mac is. and of course the debugger is a powerful tool, and on Mac the only way to attach to it is through MonoDevelop. I like Unity's MonoDevelop more than most folks - I like that it has powerful refactoring tools and very good autocomplete, and deep customization for automatically following a coding style. It was always a very powerful and reliable IDE with the most fully-featured debugger I knew, and a large selection of productivity tools. However in my past life as a games industry programmer, I worked on Windows machines in Visual Studio.
VISUAL STUDIO CODE UNITY MAC OS X
This is exciting news for me: Mac is my preferred platform for most purposes, and it's easier to create iOS apps from a Mac OS X environment. The developer tool also features integration with GitHub.
Microsoft describes the program as a “code optimized editor” with support for Intellisense, debugging, and GIT.
