One of the nice things about Rider, though, as opposed to ReSharper, is that it can be run as 64-bit, and you can control the size of the Java memory heap, rather than being jailed inside the 32-bit devenv.exe process. Visual Studio with Resharper chokes and dies pretty badly when you get into large solutions with 100k+ LOC and many projects. For years I've been seeing problems when memory usage gets close to 2GB, and the editor and intellisense starts getting laggy and unresponsive. For whatever reason, it is really bad if you have web applications with JS in the mix, to the point where I have resorted to just running WebStorm in parallel to do any front-end work.
