Adobe CC Extendscript Toolkit Mac Catalina

[NickLucas]

I am now using the MAC Catalina OS. When will the Extendscript Toolkit be available for use with Catalina ?

Pray tell, where do we send in requests for updating ExtendScript Toolkit to 64 bit?
We do almost all our scripting (which is a lot) on ExtendScript Toolkit for Mac. If ESTK would go the way of the dodo it would very much affect everyone that uses the extensive script support that, for instance, InDesign and Photoshop has. There must be thousands of companies working with page design and web design that extend the functionality of these apps with scripting. It is much needed for all kinds of automation, so yes please, update ESTK to 64 bit, please continue supporting it!

Adobe have a statement about their plans (a replacement, not an update) here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-and-macos-catalina.html#ExtendScriptToolkitdoesnotrun

So we now need to buy a Visual Studio license in order to use ES Debugger?

@rashaverak it doesn't seem like it. I just quickly installed Visual Studio Code for free, and also quickly added the extension. On a fast glance it appears to the do the same as ExtendScript Toolkit. I'll be fully testing it (for our purposes) later and can report back.
