This might be the most exciting news I've heard in a long time. Being able to use Visual Studio and .NET for web development while using zsh and all the other Linux tools? Dreamland.
Different strokes.. that sounds like an absolute nightmare to me. .NET is not a good web development framework, and Visual Studio is totally overkill for web development.
I like using F# for web development. Check out Websharper. It's like Elm or Purescript but comes with all the amazing tools MS has developed for non-web-dev F# for free.
Yes, I agree, F# and Websharper are a whole different breed than the ASP.NET, C# apps I used to create. F# is a lot of fun too for more than just Web dev.
