Presumably you are not using anything built on the Eclipse, Jetbrains or NetBeans with any language they support? (PHP, Java, Kotlin, Python)
Because out of the box and without any extras all these three beat Visual Studio easily once you start doing anything advanced except GUI, and NetBeans had a reasonable story to sell even there.
On refactoring the story is if not night and day then at least dusk and broad daylight.
- pjmlp 5y agoTry to polygot programming on JetBrains without extras, meaning managed / C / C++. Similar to what is going on here with Microsoft, they refuse to support what Eclipse and Netbeans do for free, as means to sell Clion licenses, and then make you run two IDEs in parallel.
- DeathArrow 5y agoIf you want to use JetBrains tools with C# you have to buy Rider. Visual Studio is free for use unless you are a big company.
- eitland 5y agoCorrect, although for many (most?) of Jetbrains products it is free for students and one can apply for licenses for open source work. That said, for most .Net devs I know the first thing they do after installing Visual Studio is installing Resharper just to get it up to the same level that IntelliJ (including the open source community edition), NetBeans and Eclipse (both open source) provide out of the box.
