That's... not the title of the linked article?

And, whereas it's nice that Rider is now free for non-commercial use, and it's definitely a capable IDE, Visual Studio remains an equally capable-and-frequently-updated competitor, not doomed by any single "problem" that I can see?

(Source: have been using both Visual Studio and Rider for C# development for over a decade now, and they complement each other quite nicely, while also offering a perfectly acceptable solution on platforms or within organizations that only support one and not the other.)

Also: dupe, earlier submission with some more discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41935128

Visual Studio has the community edition that is free.

Depends on your definition of "free", but, yeah. For non-commercial, non-paid use, both VS and Rider are good options, but this submission still breaks site guidelines and is a dupe...
