No, but it is on Windows? But you don't need Visual Studio or even Windows to write a desktop GUI application, and you can then run "natively" on Windows. "Native" is what Microsoft call it.
- pjmlp 2y agoTry to do Windows Formw, WPF, WinUI without Visual Studio, no, Rider doesn't support 100% of the ecosystem.
- roetlich 2y agoNo, I'm not going to. I didn't claim all Windows APIs can be debugged or easily used without Visual Studio. I didn't claim all of Android features can be debugged without Android Studio. Pornel made this claim: > Building and code signing without Xcode is nearly impossible. [...] Not for specific APIs, for all APIs. Just building code in general, and getting it signed (for e.g. iOS) requires XCode. To which you said: > A trait common to all platforms, with exception of UNIX ecosystem, and even then commercial UNIXes aren't as free choice as BSD/Linux clones. Why are you trying to limit this to specific APIs? Yes, there are some tasks you can only do in VS. But not to write any program working on Windows. Same for Android.
