My point isn't that "people shouldn't use Rider"; I myself had a Rider license and it's a GREAT IDE. My point is "you shouldn't skip C# because you think you need a license for an IDE to be use it professionally". Devs who are already using VSC for doing front-end and want to try full stack can absolutely do heavy lifting in VSC. I let my license lapse not because Rider wasn't a great IDE, but because VSC is fully capable for backend and fullstack work. > I think you're crazy I'll take that as a compliment :D. Even back in 2021 when I was invited to present at the Azure Serverless Conf[0], I chose VSC for my session to showcase that anyone could start developing .NET without expensive licenses (a common myth).
