Hi @doug.kimzey ,
It's always difficult to tell about the future, the latest version of Visual Studio 2019 has official support till 04/10/2029, so this basically means that it should support desktop application development at least until then, and personally I don't believe Visual Studio is going anywhere, rather is here to stay.
You'll find the Visual Studio roadmap here:
