Thanks for the detailed explanation Chris! FYI we met at MIX '11 - I was using Netduinos to control RC cars... Current project is home automation, and we're mostly focused on ESP8266s and Raspberry Pis, BUT that's proven somewhat frustrating and with the sudden discovery of the Wi-Fi N3, I thought I'd pick one up to have a play in this much more familiar world...
PS, just curious: what about VS Code, or e.g. Sublime Text with MSBuild or other CLI tools...
