VS is great for desktop apps since it has the designer and some other tooling, but for everything else Rider is miles ahead, in my opinion.

Especially when it comes to web. Visual Studio still dies of stroke as soon as someone dares whisper the word "razor" in its vicinity, while Rider has no problem understanding Razor templates and providing full autocompletion.

Not to mention Rider is just straight out snappier. And has integrated terminal without any need for extensions.

Unfortunately, I need SQL Project support before I can ever consider switching to Rider. I could almost move to VSCode for everything but MS refuses to implement nested files. Currently I do prefer writing C# in VS though.
