I teach coding and I basically make the students use it :) It's not as easy as 'why should I use it?', since there's not really one giant feature that makes it worthwhile. It's a million small things that help SO MUCH. They clearly have really really used their own tool and get work flow. It's so configurable. Keep this in mind because you might think it's helping and suggesting too much at first. Give it a chance, because everything that I thought was weird or getting in the way, turned out to be really valuable (like inlining variable type greyed out text, I love). Absolutely every feature can be disabled though. The only thing I actually turn off is the full line suggestions, which is a mini-AI (not the full paid AI feature). For me it gets in the way of my thinking process, but for a beginner it might be really good.
Well said!! Funny you mention the inline variable types as that was one thing I turned off very quickly. Maybe I might turn it back on after reading this though 🤔
Over the years I tried to replace vs pro, then vs code with rider. I really wanted it to happen, but it was just too clunky. It got better but just felt heavy and debugging was a chore. I work on pc and Mac with c#, blazor, Maui, swift, js, unity and a few more. I mean I appreciate that rider is in the market and provides a choice, but it wasn’t for me. Now that it’s free though, I’ll give it another go and see if it can become my daily ride(r) 😊
I actually saw this move coming ^^ I've seen them commenting "stay tuned" on posts on a free version. Finally MS has some *real* competition!
@@zardify_ I think it's a good move!

Indexing takes a while on launch, but it’s for a reason. Clunky? How old is your system? Lol
Thats cool
The first thing to do is change to light theme! 😆

I saw the 5 devs 1 game video where you removed all features and build in self Advertising. Dude.. Really?? Big dislike
