MonoDevelop died for this.

(Disclaimer: I haven't used MonoDevelop to know its quality, I'm just tempted by the idea of a free cross-platform .NET IDE. Microsoft took MonoDevelop, forked it into VS for Mac, left the former stagnate, and now is killing its closed-source descendant.)

Vs code fits the bill as a good cross platform .NET IDE. It is also a really good Standalone text editor.

It's a great text editor, yes. An IDE though, it is not. It gets close with various addons, but it's still not the same experience.
