In a blog post, Microsoft announced Visual Studio 2019.
Because the Developer Tools teams (especially .NET and Roslyn) do so much work in GitHub, you’ll start to see check-ins that indicate that we’re laying the foundation for Visual Studio 2019, and we’re now in the early planning phase of Visual Studio 2019 and Visual Studio for Mac. We remain committed to making Visual Studio faster, more reliable, more productive for individuals and teams, easier to use, and easier to get started with. Expect more and better refactorings, better navigation, more capabilities in the debugger, faster solution load, and faster builds. But also expect us to continue to explore how connected capabilities like Live Share can enable developers to collaborate in real time from across the world and how we can make cloud scenarios like working with online source repositories more seamless. Expect us to push the boundaries of individual and team productivity with capabilities like IntelliCode, where Visual Studio can use Azure to train and deliver AI-powered assistance into the IDE.
Our goal with this next release is to make it a simple, easy upgrade for everyone – for example, Visual Studio 2019 previews will install side by side with Visual Studio 2017 and won’t require a major operating system upgrade.
The company doesn’t have a release date yet.
I wonder if they’re going to do a Linux port at this rate, either as a desktop application or a webapp like Eclipse Che ( https://www.eclipse.org/che/ ).

Isn´t Visual Studio Code meant for that? I have even read that they won´t release a 64 bit version of Visual Studio and that they intent to have it replaced by Visual Studio Code.
I can’t see them replacing Visual Studio with VS Code – there is just way too much to Visual Studio, too many third party plugins, too many tools, etc, that it doesn’t make sense.
Replacing the Visual Studio editor with VS Code, though, makes a ton of sense. I don’t doubt that’s something they’ll do.
The Mac version is the same as MonoDevelop + some integrated Xamarin plugins. The Linux version is ready for release, but I’m not sure if they’re going to release it.
A few years ago, yes. But it’s now come a long way.
