It is not something that is beneficial nor required for development; I do not log in to calc.exe, I do not see why an IDE should be any different.
Also bricked my phone again, so am without one for the time. Means I could not create an account even if I wanted to. Why do I need to own a phone to launch a desktop application?

Ah that kind off "passport", didn't even know about that service (or I did and forgot).
I was thinking the physical passport thing
It's possible my email is linked to it, don't remember doing that but ...

When I was required to do that with VS2017, I just made up a dummy email and password. That pacified the installer so all's good.

No login-screen when you launch the IDE, as 2012 does?

None at all. It's the Community edition.

The 2012 community edition simply shuts down if you do not login.

I got annoyed by that too but I think I got around it. I just clicked away the dialogue. But then I could mis-remember - that was some while ago.
I am happily on Linux these days and VS Code installed like a charm, but I assume it does not have all the dotnet-goodies.

They have VS2019 for mac - why can't we get it for linux as well?

You may be thinking of .Net Core.
Even still, a new version of VS every two years is two often.

No, for core I expect frequent changes because it is quite new to market. But VS has been there for so long. I am still using VS 2015. I wonder what significant change might have happened between 15 and 19.

Well, 17 allows you to do core 2.n razor razor pages. I don't know if you can do that with 2015. 19 allows you to do Core 3.0.

Our shop is evaluating it now. If it looks good then we will move most of our projects to 2019. Should know by next week.
From what I have heard so far is that the UI and other functionality is a lot more performant than 2017.
I, personally, have not tried it yet.

I installed one of the pre-release versions and tried it out. No issues, but then again I pretty much just stick to vanilla C# programming -- console or WinForm apps.

I had a play with it yesterday on a VM. Seems pretty good, but like you, my code is pretty vanilla and WinForms based.
The part I was looking forward to testing is the full implementation of .Net Core 3 and WinForms so I don't have to worry about .Net versions on pcs, but alas, VS2019 Winforms and .net Core 3 isnt fully here yet....

And just as it gets "there", MS will abandon it and leave us hanging, yet again... Wash, rinse, repeat.

Yes, I've downloaded VS2019 and have the absolute latest preview -- just installed the update yesterday.
I'm an Early Adopter.
Actually, I wanted to try out .NET Core 3.x and even though it had been released you couldn't use it in 2017 so I downloaded 2019.
I hate the new Project Selection window and the main interface is following that minimalist crap.
And, there is intellisense that places odd little light-up comments all through your code.
Plus, a number of old Project Templates are gone.
But, as it is with all companies, it is what you get. So I may as well get used to it now, I guess.

Nope.
I downloaded 2017, and some earlier ones. As it turns out, however, I've not much use for them.
Since I'll not go beyond Win7, anyway, before going full Linux, I'd more likely be exploring possibilities in that world.
As for my paycheck? They hired me for C++ but it's moved to full web apps. With the exception of a recent exception (site access secured by a local .exe and machine registration), I've hardly done anything with a real language for quite a while.
