.NET development on a Mac: What Mac do I need, what are the options for running Visual Studio?
Post Body

Hello,

I want to move to Mac as my primary computer. It is a good idea when I do a lot of .NET development or would it be better to switch language for something more Mac friendly?

How powerfull MacBook do I need to run VS 15 without perf. problems? Will older models do (I am thinking of buying used one Pro Retina)?

Can you share some experiences/thoughts on doing .NET purely on OS X without using Windows via bootcam?

I've already read some discussions, but would greatly appreciate your input.

Thanks.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for tons of responses and insight. I try to comment on specific responses asap.

Unfortunately I cannot simply decide to use .NET Core, since I will be working on a lot of "legacy" projects that use ASP.NET MVC 4 for example.
