Linux has had JetBrains IDEs for a long time now.

In any case, without Xamarin being ported to Linux and tied to VS, the embrace you're talking about is shortly followed by the other two "E"s.

Have you ever tried Jetbrains IDEs on Linux? The font support in their java swing app is so horrible it's unbearable.
