Essential in coding C#

I use Rider daily to do my job. It supports me navigating through the code and keeping it clean.

Pros:

Rider is the best IDE for .NET development for me. Especially if you are already in the JetBrains world, everything is pretty intuitive.

Cons:

Some “special” features like general deployment stuff or code generation, for example for services are not mature as in Visual Studio yet.

Reasons for switching to Rider

I switched to Rider because I already used IntelliJ IDEA before. So switching between the two IDEs is much more seamless.

Great IDE, better that VS in some aspects

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Is better than Visual Studio for Mac users, and even more since Visual Studio is no longer supported on Mac OS

Cons:

My last complain was the payment, but now with the community version, you can practice and learn without paying, making this IDE ideal for students or open source programmers

Reasons for switching to Rider

Rider is sometimes more fluent and easy to use, I use all of them, but I commonly use Rider for practice and learning

Pros:

Rider unterstützt bei wiederkehrenden Aufgaben. Das extrahieren von Methoden, oder das Umbenennen von Variablen ist mit wenigen Klicks erledigt.

Cons:

Manche Features sind nicht gut genug umgesetzt. Z.b. Ausbaufähige Unterstützung von WinForms und älteren entity Framework Versionen.

Best IDE for Web Frontend and .NET Backend

Der Editor für sich gut an. Wer schon mal mit Resharper gearbeitet hat, wird mit JEDI-Coding im Bereich C# und Typescript/JS belohnt.

Pros:

A very good IDE for the development of modern web languages in combination with .NET / C# in the backend. The tool is the right choice for precisely this use case and, in my opinion, is far superior to competing products.

Cons:

Sometimes a bit slow, it does not support opening multiple solutions with sub-projects. However, this would be very useful in the environment of hexagonal architectures.
