Thanks for the excellent comment! Yes popularity wise I was not comparing it to React, but to other backend ecosystems out there. It is clearly very popular, but not as talked about and shared so much like as you said Java Spring, GO or Node. It's a pitty because as you said, ASP.NET Core is really a state of the art framework.

I also like Visual Studio + Resharper, and agree it's harder to code C# on VS Code - and I think this is exactly one of the huge problems. You should not depend on VS. You should have cross-platform, free tools that make DX excellent, not depend on VS that is not cross platform (yeah I'm aware of VS for mac).

I did some Java work 2 years ago after a 10 year hiatus. IntelliJ was good but not close to Visual Studio. Java Ides are still sick.

If you want cross-platform IDE I would say that Rider is the best and it is way faster than VS.

Thanks Krystian, I did give it a try some time ago - maybe two or even more years. Will check it out again when I have some time. Would like it if VSCode could do all I need - React, TS, C#.
