Add in VS for .NET languages and C++ (hot reload, debugging capabilities), and the beloved Delphi/C++ Builder duo as well.

To this day there isn't anything like C++ Builder, if you want the famous VB dev experience, but with C++.

Borland was way ahead of its time, nowadays there is no non-AI way to build a whole UI app in on afternoon like with Delphi/C++ Builder. Pity their greed prevented them from dominating via simplicity.

I have used both VS and Rider for .NET development and for me Rider beats VS by a mile.

Can't really speak to that as I do mostly web development. Not sure why there would be any issue with any other kind of development though?
