It's like $15 a month, a price of 1 good meal pretty much anywhere in the world. In my 3rd world country, even students could afford it. If you earn money with code, it should be no brainer. If you are a someone who is just learning and hacking around, or just want everything to be free forever, then VS Code with C# DevKit is more than adequate, you can even do professional work with it. I'm saying this assuming you are on Mac/Linux. On Windows, the powerful (and free) VS Community Edition will get you covered, unless your revenue exceeds 1M, in which case you probably can afford the VS Professional license.
