I just got Visual Studio for my Mac. Although in Beta, it seems nice. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out where VIM could be. I've searched the marketplace, but cannot load any file or extension into the IDE to enable VIM. I've checked the preferences in keyboard behavior, but nothing.
Does this IDE really not have one of the most essential tools?

Visual Studio for Mac is a completely different product compared to Visual Studio (Windows). It's based on Xamarin Studio and lacks support for many of the classic.NET project types.

Although it has languished somewhat and some embarrassing UI defects remain in the Windows version, we can hope that Microsoft will deliver a fairly well-organized IDE for the Mac.

Visual C++ For Mac
It's now available in the Visual Studio for Mac extension gallery (under IDE extensions)
You can usually find a more recent version on the github releases page than in the VS for Mac addin gallery.
Visual Studio for Mac is not a direct port of Visual Studio for Windows. It's essentially an alpha-level rebranding (with a lot of work put into it but still) of another IDE called Xamarin Studio, itself essentially a rebranding of MonoDevelop.
As such, you shouldn't expect any compatibility with other tools in the Visual Studio ecosystem for the time being.
However, you can set up MacVim as an external tool if you really want, but you won't get any kind of integration per se:
romainlromainlAfter last VisualStudio update (8.1.3 - a new Editor is in place) Vim doesn't work anymore.
At least for now, you need to mark a setting in Visual Studio that forces use of the old editor, as described in the extension's README here.
