Initially you may think it’s not worth paying and that there are better free options, which is definitely a lie we once tried to live with. It has everything you may ever need in .NET world, code analysis and debugging works super well and all the SQL/noSQL related integrations are just next level compared to the competition. It’s worth every penny.Incentivized
I would recommend Vim in any scenario where text files have to be viewed, created, or edited on GNU/Linux computers. Regardless if you need to quickly change a few things in a configuration file, or you need to write up a full document, Vim is great. I wouldn't use Vim to view, edit, or create anything that requires "rich-text". In other words, if you need to format the text (bolding, font colours, word-art, etc), then Vim isn't the tool to use.Incentivized
Provides a smooth, efficient IDE for developing .NET applications. Performance has been much better than Visual Studio in my experience.Integrated refactoring tools are really comprehensive and useful.Integrates with other JetBrains products such as TeamCity, Upsource, dotTrace, etc.Incentivized
The efficient modal editing makes it very fast to write/edit code as I think of it.The customization and wide range of plugins let me do very specific things and automate parts of my workflow.The fact that it runs inside a terminal simplifies my window management and just becomes another Tmux window in my workflow.Incentivized
Startup time. It takes a while to index big projects.Rarely it loses the intellisense and the only way to get it back is by restarting.Incentivized
Without a doubt the hardest program to learn. It is a completely different paradigm of thinking compared to other editorsBy default it doesn't have lots of fancy features you would find in larger IDE programs like code completion and linkingIt lives in the command line so a user has to be comfortable with this interfaceIncentivized
Due to the performance and productivity benefits we get with Rider, we will continue to use it for the foreseeable future.Incentivized
Rider is a great IDE with extensive C# refactoring support and .NET-specific knowledge. This is great for building .NET applications but for our purposes, the Unity specific suggestions are really helpful. JetBrains Rider is great as an editing and debugging environment. It reliably connects to the Unity editor and allows debugging, which some IDEs are not as reliable at doing. Incentivized
I don't consider the steep learning curve to be a hinderance on the overall usability. I would rate this a ten, but to be honest a lot of people do get hung up at the beginning and just abandon it. However, for people who have made the moderate effort to get over the hump, nothing can be more usable.Incentivized
The support forums and knowledge base are extensive and the JetBrains support staff respond quickly to new posts and help resolve issues. There is also a publicly accessible issue tracking system, which allows you to stay on top of any bug fixes or enhancement requests.Incentivized
There is no commercial support for Vim. Thus, it will not get a mark beyond 5. However, community support is very good. You can easily find solutions for most of the problems in the community.Incentivized
Rider is hands down smoother and way less glitchy than Visual Studio Enterprise. There are way more refactoring capabilities and spell check so that your code is readable, maintainable, and easy to follow. Since Rider is cross-platform, our developers are no longer constrained to only using Windows. We can now get a familiar development environment across Mac, Windows, or Linux!Incentivized
Vim's keybindings are a lot more complex than Notepad++. With that, comes a whole bunch of capability that Notepad++ just can't match. Emacs is comparable, in terms of capabilities--because Vim is built into so many unix systems, I chose to learn it instead of Emacs. Knowing both probably isn't a bad idea, but there's enough to learn in either camp to keep you busy Incentivized
All people using the same IDE makes it much easier to ramp-up and collaborateDevelopment and maintainment can be done in a more efficient wayIncentivized
It always increases productivity.Sometimes feature discovery is not easy. It could be documented well like how to install a plugin and if it supported well or not.Incentivized
