Microsoft could make a fast and responsive version of visual studio, then we would probably use it. But right now rider is mostly better and much cheaper.

- ShaneMcGowan 5y agoEven on high spec machines, visual studio feels so clunky and slow. Haven't used Rider but Intellij for Java development is a dream compared to visual studio for .NET development
- bigtex 5y agoI use Rider in a Windows VM and it is night and day compared to VS 2019 in regard to speed.
- andix 5y agoInput latency That’s the thing that makes Visual Studio so annoying. Even typing is slow. A lot of other stuff too.
- minimaul 5y agoIt's really noticeable, and a lot worse than it used to be. My dev desktop is a 5800X with 64G of RAM and a nice samsung m.2 SSD. VS feels slow on it. Rider doesn't. VS Code doesn't.

- polskibus 5y agoEspecially for large solutions (in terms of .NET development) , VS Code seems much slower than Rider.
- pjmlp 5y agoHow can it be much cheaper when some Windows SDKs require VS anyway.
- minimaul 5y agoIf you don't need anything that is VS dependent, it works. eg Most .net code I write is for .net core and will eventually run on Linux. Rider is great for this. Cheaper than a version of VS that actually has the features you'd want, faster, works cross-platform.
- andix 5y agoI don’t know which SDKs require visual studio, but if you don’t use them, you don’t need it ;)
- LadyCailin 5y agoThe build tools are available for free, in their entirety, I thought. What’s missing from those? (Besides the VS program itself)
- pjmlp 5y agoEverything else that comes on Professional and Enterprise VS for architecture, SDKs for SQL Server, SharePoint, Dynamic, debugging tools for IIS integration, mixed mode debugging with C++/CLI, COM, UWP, regular C++, code testing with coverage on the background, Assembly view for JIT code,.....
