It improves it.

We now get all these bug fixes for all of our products across Android, Mac, iOS, PlayStation, Xbox and every other embedded system we support.

I like it how .NET Core has a more permissive license (MIT) than Mono (LGPL).

Let's hope that lowers the costs of Xamarin. It's a great product, but even Microsoft realizes that, in order to achieve wider adoption, you need something close to the freemium model, like Visual Studio.

This is your fault. Thank you.

It will improve because of proper support for dot net in IOS and Android. They will evolve but I think they are well positioned.
