## Reviews

### "Great IDE, better that VS in some aspects" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *1 February 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

### "Best IDE for Web Frontend and .NET Backend" — 5.0/5

> **Florian** | *26 August 2024* | Financial Services | 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.

### "Essential in coding C\#" — 5.0/5

> **Michael** | *6 March 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Rider is the best IDE for .NET development for me. 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.

### "The best option to work in linux" — 5.0/5

> **Francisco Luis** | *22 April 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** | *19 October 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.
