Unfortunately, the alternatives are really lacking. JetBrains Rider REALLY feels underbaked. No deal-breaking issues, but lots of little low-impact ones, and lots of design decisions that go against common conventions, for no apparent reason. The "Visual Studio Mode" doesn't really help.

On top of that, I've had several issues with RUNNING Rider, on account of being on Bazzite, an immutable distro. It was fine on Mint, but Mint had its own troubles with my NVidia card.

That's what I mostly use too

I share this pain :(

Glad I am not the only one :)

I try so hard to move away from this but I seem to always end up crawling back because something is missing or broken. DotRush is hopeful, though (assuming C#)

Do you find avelonia good to use? I've been taking interest in learning dotnet, but I typically have only needed to make CLI stuff in the past.

I use codium. It's basically VS code without all the proprietary and spooky telemetry. Works well as vscode
