Especially if you are already in the JetBrains world, everything is pretty intuitive. > > **Cons**: Some “special” features like general deployment stuff or code generation, for example for services are not mature as in Visual Studio yet. > > I use Rider daily to do my job. It supports me navigating through the code and keeping it clean. ----- ### "Great IDE, better that VS in some aspects" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *February 1, 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Is better than Visual Studio for Mac users, and even more since Visual Studio is no longer supported on Mac OS > > **Cons**: My last complain was the payment, but now with the community version, you can practice and learn without paying, making this IDE ideal for students or open source programmers ----- ### "The best option to work in linux" — 5.0/5 > **Francisco Luis** | *April 22, 2023* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: To be able to work on linux desktops in net c\#. > > **Cons**: Some features work better on windows than on linux. > > It works great and is what I need, but They should improve the effort in the linux version. ----- ### "Beste Ide für Moderne Softwareentwicklung" — 4.0/5 > **Tobias** | *October 19, 2025* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Rider unterstützt bei wiederkehrenden Aufgaben. Das extrahieren von Methoden, oder das Umbenennen von Variablen ist mit wenigen Klicks erledigt. > > **Cons**: Manche Features sind nicht gut genug umgesetzt. Z.b. Ausbaufähige Unterstützung von WinForms und älteren entity Framework Versionen. ----- ### "Best IDE for Web Frontend and .NET Backend" — 5.0/5 > **Florian** | *August 26, 2024* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: A very good IDE for the development of modern web languages in combination with .NET / C\# in the backend. The tool is the right choice for precisely this use case and, in my opinion, is far superior to competing products. > > **Cons**: Sometimes a bit slow, it does not support opening multiple solutions with sub-projects. However, this would be very useful in the environment of hexagonal architectures. > > Der Editor für sich gut an. Wer schon mal mit Resharper gearbeitet hat, wird mit JEDI-Coding im Bereich C\# und Typescript/JS belohnt. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2068891/rider?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2068891/rider) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
