Yes. It's a WPF app running on the framework. MS has no plans to open source WPF or include the required assemblies into the CoreCLR so I doubt we will ever see VS running on a *nix platform.
The majority of the Visual Studio code is still C++. The shell was rewritten to use WPF and MEF. So, I wouldn't exactly call it a WPF app. More like it uses some WPF.
