| bold statement, as you claim that VS Code would fit the majority better than say $IDE from JetBrains. I don't know how you came to that conclusion but I'd guess that you mostly work on small projects? (where I'd say smallish is < 100K LOC) Stuff I'd miss in VS Code coming from JetBrains Rider: - Docking of panels to top, bottom, left, right - built-in database explorer (with table designer, script runner, ...) - built-in unit test explorer - built-in memory/perf profiler (not talking about a simple text interface!) - nice config options of project settings (in either text with completion or the UI) - NuGet package explorer UI - integrated IL viewer - great git blame / annotation view ... could continue for a while |
Judging from the fact that many people choose VS Code over JetBrains IDEs, despite being aware of JetBrains existence as an option, seems to be prima facie evidence that it is in fact the better choice for those folks.
