I don't like the closed environment where you are not a first-class citizen if you are not using vs or rider. I always work on vim and linux, and I am getting tired of fighting with whatever new stuff microsoft makes that does not work out of the box (their latest LSP that does not follow the spec they created themselves as my latest example).
It's not at all a closed environment though? You can live entirely on the command line if you wanted to and that's a fully supported workflow.
they are definitely making progress but that's clearly not the most open ecosystem. for example there is no open source debugger available (there is netcoredbg which is community maintained and lack important features or there is the vscode one which is licensed as "you need an official vscode version to use it, even vscodium can't use it")
Support for some platforms with C# is also a bit lacking. Getting C# stuff up and running on FreeBSD can be a challenge for example.
Do you daily drive FreeBSD?
It’s what I run on my home server. Most of my interaction with a command line is with macOS, which makes BSDs more familiar, and jails are nice for containment that works without external tools. First class built in ZFS is nice too.
Rust has ruined every other programming language for me.
