This is where I am, too - long time .NET dev, have gotten increasingly frustrated with Visual Studio's awful performance, especially with ReSharper. I've tried taking that out given VS has a bunch of that stuff built in, but working without R# completions feels like trying to work with one arm tied behind my back. Between that and my preference for Macs for my personal laptops -- and I've been very excited at how good .NET Core has gotten on non-Windows platforms -- as well as a ~3 year sojourn working with Java 8/11 in IntelliJ, I've gotten very comfortable working with JetBrains IDEs and generally prefer them when I have the option. Structure View is great, the search is nice and snappy. The only thing that frustrates me with Rider is I don't think you can apply fixes from Roslyn analyzers at the file/project/solution level like you can in VS. We enforce our team's coding standards using those, so it's a minor pain point, but not enough to get me to stop using Rider given how much faster it is.
