waveIDE started out of frustration. I was extremely annoyed by how the .NET ecosystem, despite being cross-platform, was extremely tied to big corporations: outside of Microsoft and JetBrains, good luck finding a good IDE for .NET development.
I began working on waveIDE as a way of taking a break from other time-consuming projects and eventually evolved it into a VSCode-alternative, instead of something targetted specifically at the .NET ecosystem.
