Rider is better than Visual Studio at the moment; we'll see what happens if they actually get VS 2022 cut over to be 64-bit, maybe the performance will be back to usable for medium-large solutions.
No support for JNI debugging, no incremental compiler, 10 finger key chords, requires explicit menu actions to display project errors, never stops indexing the world,....
Sure, that's what I do, and what my friend did before he went to another company where they somehow managed to fuck up the project configuration so bad it was absolutely impossible to deploy from under anything other than Visual Studio. It's using some sort of integrated Azure wizardry, I don't work there and can't pry into their secrets. The thing is, you can't work with that project without a Windows license and a Visual Studio license. MS has zero interest in supporting this use case (can't blame them, I'm just stating the fact.)
Azure CLI just works fine without VS.
