Never tried it, but seen it a lot. Keep in mind that my comment was Java vs C#, not JVM vs CLR or anything related.

I worked in Java ( 10 years : 1994-2004); switched to C# ( 15 years : 2005-2020). Last year; I took a new job and they were all Java back end. I tried to get back into Java; but couldn't stand Eclipse or Intellij. I kept telling myself I had to get out of there and get back to .NET. Mission accomplished last August.

It was like coming home after a bad tour-of-duty.

There is nothing as good a Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, C#, and Typescript in my opinion.

Yes Correct 😄

Tool should increase productivity:

-It should help locate files fast.
-It should help find Methods and Variables , References fast.
-It should make debugging easy.
-It should increase productivity.
-It should help build app using rapid development.
-It should make maintenance easier even in large enterprise projects.

Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code meets all these.
