    I have the JetBrains Toolbox with the “All Products Pack” and it works like a charm! The JetBrains products are far superior to other products I’ve tried. I mostly used Pycharm, Datagrip, CLion, and Goland and love them. Couldn’t imagine dev without them

    what is the actual price? can’t understand how someone builds "Get Rider" button without communicating the price. Is it 500€ after the discount? Is it 10€? Who knows? But I’m not gonna start filling in forms (two next steps already ask me stuff without, again, telling me the price). Bizarre.

    Is this an ad?

    This is a pretty good deal for .NET's best IDE. Been a happy user since Rider's first release and a long time happy R# user before that, although R# could get pretty sluggish for big projects under VS.NET so jumped when they announced their full .NET IDE and never looked back (now only using VS.NET for Blazor) - it's symbol search, navigation, refactoring, terminal and git integration, executable/script management, unit tests, support for JS/TypeScript FXs, DB plugin, etc is much nicer than VS .NET.

    I ended up getting the All Products Pack since I need to maintain projects in several languages so ended up being pretty good deal for the 8 IDEs / tools I have installed which got even more affordable over time which was something like 40% off after the 2 renewal.

    Pretty much doing all my development on JetBrains IDEs these days, used to use VS Code a lot more on laptops since I'm normally not a fan of using IDEs in small screens but Rider's new compact UI works great in full-screen mode to maximize code real-estate on my 15" M2 Macbook Air.

    I've always found it telling how British/European english refers to companies using a plural verb, while Americans refer to a company using the singular verb "is."

    The 300$ all products license saved me a bundle.

    I really wish there were a viable linux build of LINQPad.. I wonder what has stopped Jetbrains from building out Rider's scratchpad support to be on par DX wise with it..

    I wish their GitHub Codespaces feature worked for us. We have tried so many times to get it working and it fails every time.

    You know what I don’t like about some IDEs? Either they are too heavy, or does a lot of work under the hood that people take for granted.

    I’m a bit scared that I will get so used to it that I’ll depend on it and forget whats happening in the background.

    I’m not stating this is a fact but rather the reason why I choose to not use these full blown locked-in IDEs.

    How is Jetbrains Rider compared to VS 2022?

    Especially in regards with Azure integration and platform emulation.

    How is the F# experience on Rider compared to VS Code and other options?

    How good is VSCode support for .NET nowadays?

    I'm a PhD student and I use all their products. When I graduate this semester and I lose my student license I'm back to vim. I just need syntax highlighting. I hope I know enough about the languages I code with that I don't need extra help.
