OmniSharp Team and Roslyn Team convergence? :o

[david-driscoll]

C# / Roslyn / OmniSharp where is the ❤️?

• Great discussion

• The Roslyn team is looking at how they can take the code intelligence, currently in Visual Studio, and bring it out of process.
  • Is OmniSharp the answer to that?
  • Is the direction of the community inline with the direction of Microsoft?
  • Microsoft has concerns that if the have a deliverable to meet, could they still meet them while still shipping OmniSharp?
  • Can Microsoft pick and choose the features (ie plugins) that is opt in.

• The answer was, the community basically wants to have a similar experience to OmniSharp, but in our editor of choice. And that we would love to use the same tool that Visual Studio itself is using.
• [David D] My comment was that we shouldn't consider Microsoft as an outsider, but instead as a part of our community, and we're just one big team.

We might need some popcorn or this one, cc @OmniSharp/all 😄

The big advantage of course is that then intellisense can improve out of sync with VS

Not to mention that Microsofts influence will allow the community to have a synchronized experience with language improvements and capabilities in step with Visual Studio.
