Can you tell what do you use Visual Studio for ? I use it for .NET development but I don't think it is better than Rider.

- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agothese days, .net/asp.net core mostly, but I've been using the IDE's since before they were combined (Visual C++, etc). I definitely think it's better. Often rider lags behind understanding newer C# languages and .net features and the debugger is slower to launch in rider (rider in general is slower than VS in my experience). I also find rider slower in general and I think features rider has are mis-features. If you're coming from a java background with IntelliJ experience then rider will probably feel more comfortable in terms of UI philosophies, keybindings, etc, and I'm not trying to discount comfort, but even technically I don't think rider can touch VS. And I'm not discounting rider, I'm saying VS really is that good. It's not perfect by any means, but even on technical merit alone I think rider loses. And I have a jetbrains "all inclusive" license, I'm a huge fan of their tools. I just don't think rider is as good as VS. If VS were ever ported to linux I'd stop using Rider alltogether. Although I will admit, I can't like DataGrip and I've really tried. Just something about it doesn't sit well with my sensibilities, I think because it tries to be jack of all things data wise and it loses something as a result.
