Big mistake MS made when originally coming out with Dot Net, was not providing free developer editions of Visual Studio .NET.

This is Microsoft's effort to keep developers from moving to other platforms. The software development tools for Linux and Mac OS X have always been available for free.
Visual Studio is not a great IDE, but this announcement is good news.
