"Best tool for Unity Development"

5/5

What do you like best about Rider?

I love that it is so easy to integrate with Unity, which makes it amazing to work with and boosts my productivity, since I had previous experience with the JetBrains ecosystem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rider?

Not much, maybe the load times on HDD, but I do realize that is more of a physical constrains and that SSDs have amazing load times Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rider:

If you are a JetBrains user, and you have to work in C#, this is the tool you want to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rider solving and how is that benefiting you?

I hated the fact I had to program C# in Visual Studio, so I was delighted when I found out that JetBrains developed their own IDE for C#, and even more delighted when I found out that it is soo easy to integrate it to work well With Unity. I have been using it since the EAP versions and I haven't looked back since! I also love how far the integration has come with having Unity stuff in the editor itself Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"C# development like it should be "

5/5

What do you like best about Rider?

I hated to develop in C# when I was in college because of Visual Studio, I'm not a fan at all, a few years later I decided to give it another try, this time with rider after I bought the All products pack from Jetbrains. I still don't like C# but I admit that is not because of the IDE, I'm more of a Java guy, and this ide is so close to IntelliJ IDEA that there is not much to lear, totally recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rider?

Price tag by itself is high, as a pack of the All Products Pack is pretty reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean IDE for reading C# code."

5/5

What do you like best about Rider?

I'm not a developer anymore, but I still need to read C# code from time to time to make sure I do understand what we are selling out to the finest grained details. This IDE makes that really easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rider?

Nothing, for the purpuses of what I need this is perfect Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rider:

If you can avoid Visual Studio and use Rider for C# do it. Unless you are a die hard Microsoft fan there is no real reason to use the Default IDE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rider solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reading C# code and from time to time running, building and executing something to make sure it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Delightful to use in Mac"

5/5

What do you like best about Rider?

Rider behaves like a pro in Mac without anything to miss from Visual Studio, indeed, several functions from Resharper are integrated and makes a better experience than VS for Mac or VS Code. I've compared the debugging experience comparing VS for Mac, VS Code and Rider, and Rider gaves me the best option. Unit testing is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rider?

I think Rider could be better if support for previous ASP.NET MVC versions work better than now in Mac. I've not been able to make a ASP.NET MVC (.NET 4.5) to run under Rider in Mac Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rider:

Rider is by far the best tool in MAC, even if you compare it with VS for Mac, because you will not miss the great experience you enjoy on Visual Studio in Windows and adding the great feeling of Resharper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rider solving and how is that benefiting you?

I develop ASP.NET Core and REST Services in RIder in a daily basis, so it is my first option in Mac. Also a note of REST Client directly integrated in the IDE makes Rider the only tool I need for my development tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
