Rider is the best C# IDE IMO, works on linux, mac, and of course Windows. Very happy it’s now free!

I was really impressed with Rider when I tired it out with Unity development, I’d love to use it, but I’ve switched to Godot and GDScript
I use IntelliJ and CLion daily at work, JetBrians makes some awesome IDEs
Edit: Now I’ve gone down a rabbit hole and it seems there’s a way to work with GDScript in one of the JetBrains IDEs, neat
Which one, if I may ask?
I think this plugin that I was looking at adds GDScript language support for almost all of them
Jetbrains has been irritating me by breaking a lot of tools I use because of their race for AI goodness.
I eventually rolled back the phpstorm I use to last year’s release, to get functionality again, and there are dozens of tickets for the issues.
They broke stuff that worked over years. For instance, copy and paste broke when doing in code base and wanting to copy a file.
Either they enshitified, or the war really crippled them and now in trouble, maybe both. I know they lost some real talent
They are good editors but feel very slow compared to even VS code.
Try zed and you will not want to go back.
Won’t speak to Webstorm, but hard disagree when it comes to Rider. VSCode/Zed really fit into an entirely different category from Jetbrains IDE’s. Lightweight editors vs full fat development environments. There are use cases for each.
I think the line between these two categories is less defined than it once was. A well set up vscode environment is functionally very comparable to the equivalent jetbrains product. The difference mostly lies I think it how “out of the box” the set up is.
Yeah I know, I just said zed is faster. It doesn’t have all the features of Jetbrains IDE’s and never will. I agree it’s a different usecase and for me and what I do, zed feels amazing.
It’s easy to be faster with exponentially less features. Even vscode is lacking behind jetbrains. Most features I need that are not there is quickly finding all usages (actual usages instead of just search by name) as well as intelligent refactoring of all usages in all files and event some comments and it being done automatically if your move or rename a file also. Also setting up a main run button is actually very annoying to do in most languages in vscode (idk if you can even do it in zed?), you eventually have to ude commandlinz for everything. Also the lack of language formatter for all languages…
Compared to something like VSC, yeah JetBrains IDE’s take a while to boot up. But if the alternative is Visual Studio, they’re amazingly smooth.

If you’re going to use it, you’d be paying for it one way or another; either through money or privacy. Par for the course.

Right, so it’s not free. Goodbye

A simple fw entry should fix that
