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.
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.
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.
Even for dotnet, I prefer rider
