I've been Rider almost exclusively for about 2 years now, ever since I've been coding Core. VS is fine, but VS w/Resharper is a dog. With Rider, R# is a first class citizen, which makes a huge difference. Not to mention that the vim emulation and other addons are solid due to being shared with the intellij suite of apps.

VS 2019 has been integrating lots of new refactorings that were only on R#. It appears that they are more and more between small releases.

I'm happy to never need to use R# anymore.

Refactorings are but one feature of Resharper. The code hints/suggestions are still far better than vanilla VS, unfortunately (imo).

Rider blows Visual Studio out of the water for anything F# as well. It is really a shame that Microsoft no longer seems to care about it.

I switched to Rider from VS with R# after growing weary of the frequent pauses and the constant whining of my laptop fans.

It took a while to configure the colour scheme to something I was comfortable with, but otherwise the experience has been really positive - I love it!

Same, I’ve been using Rider whenever I can, VS only when I have to. Much better IDE overall.
