One of the best IDE's I've ever used. JetBrains IDE's come close, but Visual Studio is a gem.



IMO, it's somewhat polarising. Some people love it, but I personally can't stand it. It feels too heavy, trying to dominate every aspect of writing code. I prefer lightweight editors, but I recognise it's a personal thing.


Its totally a personal thing. I feel VS Code is the right combination of light weight, light touch, and keeps my focus where I need it whilst still having the ability to get to helpers that make life easier.


Visual Studio is nice but I vastly prefer Rider, even on Windows. It feels bit snappier, especially when you're comparing Visual Studio + Resharper versus Rider. TBH this is probably a matter of what is familiar though.


I use Rider on other platforms.
