NetCore is a fine release from Microsoft and Visual Studio s latest version is also available for mac but there is still some limitation  Like for creating GUI based application on  net core you have to write code manually for everything  Like in older version of VS we just drag and drop the things and magic happens  But in VS latest version for mac every code has to be written manually  However you can make web application and console application easily on VS for mac

NET Core will install and run on macOS - and just about any other desktop OS  IDEs are available for the mac  including   Visual Studio for Mac VS Code  free  but not as professional focused as VS  JetBrains Rider  paid    Mono is a good option that I ve used in the past   But with Core 3 0 out now  I would go that route
