Nice article, I'm using Windows with VS2017 for .NET Core developing.

Rider is great, but really, do you feel it has the same good look?

I hope one day a Resharper-like plugin will appear for VSCode... I'm done with VS2017, it's really bloated !

I agree. I cannot work without ReSharper though working on VS 2017 is a big pain.
And same thing, Rider lacks features and feels too lightweight and toolless than a fat heavy IDE such as Visual Studio

I am spoiled by resharper!

It automates so much. I miss it on every fresh VS install.

Hey Yaser,

I'm glad you liked it 😁.

"Rider is great, but really, do you feel it has the same good look?"

If you are referring to the overall UI and editor theme, I find it to be okay, although I've seen a few people using custom themes like Material Design looking ones to spice things up a little, I guess.

Man... Rider UI is great, but the UX sucks.
It looks like VS, but when you look closer, when you try to use it. It has a very ugly user experience. I just don't like it, and neither all my colleagues.

Quite the opposite, I find UX in Rider much better that in VS. For starters, almost everything can be done without touching the mouse. In particular, source control is MILES ahead of VS (or any other git tool, for that matter).
