Your rubicon is about 5 years out of date. VS Code and Rider are excellent tooling for .Net on or off Windows OS.

This is not quite true on an M1 Mac. The VS Code C# extension only supports .NET Core, and the latest and deprecated release 3.1 has no ARM build. .NET 6 does, but is somehow unsupported.

To me, it's clear Microsoft wants to force people to use VisualStudio over VSCode. Likely not an issue for a .NET shop, but it's yet more shenanigans by Microsoft

Er, what? The VS Code extension gets updated all the time, it was updated in tandem with .NET through to .NET 6 and is currently being developed for .NET 7.

Works with Linux x64, Alpine Linux 64 bit, macOS Intel, Linux ARM64, macOS Apple Silicon, Alpine Linux ARM64, Windows ARM, Windows ia32, Windows x64

.NET 6 is the first where they fully supported M1 Macs, maybe you last looked before .NET 6 released? Either way, VS Code is definitely a supported way to work with .NET.
