I’ll sit next to 1, and I’ll spend the entire flight talking to him about my .NET setup on Windows and how to date Visual Studio is still the best IDE available for any mainstream programming language.
I’d consider vscode to still be a text editor, although I do really like using it for TypeScript. For me, VS still takes the crown because it’s just so good at debugging and evaluating C#. It’s hard for anyone to compete since Microsoft largely owns (yes, I know the .NET Foundation is responsible for .NET) the whole ecosystem.
Vanilla vscode is not an IDE, true. But that’s a moot point as you can load that shit up with a bajillion extensions and turn it into what’s basically a proper IDE.
It has seamless integration with the language and framework, and to date (outside of TypeScript support in vscode) I’m yet to use anything that comes close to the level of control in debugging. IntelliJ shits the bed at even basic Gradle builds.
I was so excited for Rider, especially since I do like some of the features of other JetBrains IDE’s, but I’ve found it just too unreliable when it comes to build support, and despite years of dominance in tooling from the ReSharper days VS intellisense is just much nicer. It’s very close though, and IMO Rider is nicer to use for C# than IntelliJ or PyCharm are for their respective languages.

The good old lying approach, I see.
Name an IDE that is better.
i somehow feel this might be sort of a vim-vim situation 😁
Aside from being boomer tech, I’d say that both are text editors.
Have you heard of our lord and saviour, Delphi?
Oh man. I miss Delphi days.
I wish they’d open source it.
I don’t think anything else comes close for just dropping a bunch of shit on a form and running it.
I haven’t. What’s that and does it come close to neovim?
I think it’s a different beast entirely.
The open source alternative to Delphi is Lazarus if you’re that way inclined.
A lot of Delphi was the work of Anders Hejlsberg, who you might remember from other little known languages such as C# and Typescript.
There is some that are faster and probably lighter and more efficient. But better, no. VSCode takes the cake. I use VSCodium.
VS is not VSCode, not even comparable
You say that as if somebody was disputing that.
I’m more partial to Zed now. I like to type in high FPS.

VS Code is a code editor, not an IDE.
The distinction ceased to be meaningful the minute language servers got introduced.
True. If I were to count text editors then vscode would probably be the winner. TypeScript support in vscode is just beautiful.

Any of the JetBrains suite.
IntelliJ is a blight on humanity.
Someone hasn’t used eclipse, I see
Eclipse is the Trump to IntelliJ’s Hillary.
Says person who thinks Visual studio is the best IDE

Suprised nobody mentioned Neovim yet
Even for dotnet, I prefer rider
