I’d consider using it, but I’d need to pay 200€ a year for Rider. So I guess I stick to the free Microsoft product :(
It looks like Rider is free for commercial use! Kind of sucks that there aren’t many other good alternatives for .NET IDEs though. The Jetbrains one is also the only proper one that is cross-platform (Visual Studio does not support Mac or Linux)
I don’t program in .NET though, I’m a Python guy, which has lots of nice options for code editors and IDEs 😁 (many other languages are in a similar boat too!)
VSCode works in Linux, if you don’t mind installing plugins to make the IDE more functional like straight Visual Studio.
Even has an un-MS’d branch, VSCodium.
Lots of Python plug-ins.
VSCode is also Microsoft, as you stated, but VSCodium is awesome (particularly for webdev, but it’s great for Python and others too)! I personally use Zed, just because it usually opens faster, but yeah! Python (and many other languages) are plentiful in good code editors / IDEs!
For .NET, I noted Rider as the only “proper” .NET IDE that is cross-platform (since VSCode/Codium by default does not include many of the debugging, testing, etc. features of VS and Rider from my understanding)
Doesn’t the price get cheaper each subsequent year?
Up to a 40% continuity discount. For the “all products” package at least.
I use Rider for personal use, and sure, it’s a bit slow, but it’s actually a pretty good IDE. I’m glad they’re helping Godot.
So long as JB doesn’t force Godot with anything… leave them uninfluenced.
