Please bring the XAML preview back! The current version (VS for Mac v 8.9.2) hot reload is buggy. XAML preview was finally working after many years.
DesignMode.IsDesignModeEnabled is always true while debugging now which causes havoc and now I have to rip it out of everywhere.
I realize it wasn't perfect but it was a hell of a lot better than hot-mess-reload.
At least give it in an extension?
heck, give me the code and I'll maintain it!
