    I’ll sit next to 1, and I’ll spend the entire flight talking to him about my .NET setup on Windows and how to date Visual Studio is still the best IDE available for any mainstream programming language.

              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.

              I think it’s a different beast entirely.

              The open source alternative to Delphi is Lazarus if you’re that way inclined.

              A lot of Delphi was the work of Anders Hejlsberg, who you might remember from other little known languages such as C# and Typescript.

          There is some that are faster and probably lighter and more efficient. But better, no. VSCode takes the cake. I use VSCodium.

            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.

                True. If I were to count text editors then vscode would probably be the winner. TypeScript support in vscode is just beautiful.

              Vanilla vscode is not an IDE, true. But that’s a moot point as you can load that shit up with a bajillion extensions and turn it into what’s basically a proper IDE.

            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.
