  • Jetbrains are offering 65% off Rider personal licenses for 65 hours

    Compared to what? To visual studio? It's bad. To rider? It's bad.

    To using a potato? It's pretty good!

    Seriously though, if you want an honest answer: It's bad... but, they're now investing in making it better (1), and it better than I was a year ago.

    Expect to see more improvements in this space.

    ..but like, yeah. Right now, it kind of still sucks if you're working in C# full time, compared to the serious alternatives. You can see common themes on the issue tracker (2), if you want a less anecdotal response, or perhaps dig through a couple of the juicy threads (3), that give you sense of the state of play right now.

    tldr; watch this space; if you're already heavily invested vscode, give it a whirl... but, if you're using a mostly-c# code base, you probably won't want to have it as your primary editor right now.
