[Proposal] Merge Community.VisualStudio.Toolkit and Clide #26

Open workgroupengineering opened 3 years ago

Thanks for this toolkit and the time invested on it.

On github there is another toolkit that helps in the development of Visual Studio extensions, Clide. It would be nice to merge the features of Community.VisualStudio.Toolkit and Clide.

Reference clariuslabs/clide#171

I'm having a hard time understanding what Clide actually does. The readme doesn't explain anything and there's no sample code. Do you have any examples?

workgroupengineering commented 3 years ago

you can see a small example there. The clide is also used by Xamarin / MAUI Visual Studio Integration.

Clide is following a quite different philosophy than the community toolkit. In the toolkit, a command is still a command and tool window still a tool window. Same with options. Clide creates brand new conceptual implementation for those to such an extent that the existing VSSDK documentation is useless.
