- MagicWishMonkey 10y agoI've played with VS Code a bit, it's a pretty cool tool for small scale scripting, but it's not really a replacement for a full fledged IDE. Hopefully Jetbrains will release their cross platform C# IDE sometime soon. I would prefer Visual Studio, but I don't think that's going to happen (at least not anytime soon).
- vgbm 10y agoFrom my experience, Rider is pretty stable and usable. Have you tried it out at all? https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/ https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/
- MagicWishMonkey 10y agoOh, didn't realize you could request early access. I'll check it out, thanks.
- nojvek 10y agoNot being fully fledged IDE can be good and bad. I'm using VSCode for most things I use VS for. It's super fast to launch, great language extensions, debugger, integrated terminal and tasks. It's like sublime and visual studio had a baby. I have licenses for jet brains but I seldom ever use it. I may also be a bit biased since I contribute to VScode extensions. But I see that as a positive. I use a free editor that I can hack, look at its source and collaborate in the open.
- girvo 10y agoVisual Studio Code is pretty neat, and it's plugin system is very powerful: more and more languages are adding amazing IntelliSense and interactive debugging support for it. It's like Atom, if Atom was faster and focused on exposing nice APIs for autocompletion!
