Supporting Systemsįinally, it has support for popular VCS systems such as Git, Mercurial, and TFS, with the local history of files. It can also warn you about vulnerable dependencies in your solution, which is a nice safety net to have.

It also has a lot of other cool refactoring features, such as being able to replace string literals with a variable name and being able to use ReSharper to make refactoring a breeze.Īnother really cool feature is the fact that it can decompile library types to C# and display them in a regular editor tab, making it very easy to navigate the code and find usages. One of the coolest features that Rider has is the fact that it can automatically detect TODO and BUG comments in your code and display them in a dedicated tool window, which makes it really easy to see what needs to be done. It also supports the cross-platform Avalonia UI framework, which is very useful for creating GUI applications that can run on various platforms. It also has a very nice editor, with code completion and templates, auto-inserting matching braces and import directives, quick info tooltips, and gutter icons for inheritance navigation. It has a lot of the same debugging features as Visual Studio, including the ability to add breakpoints (conditional or otherwise), watches, tracepoints, and more. It’s also very feature-rich, with support for many different languages, including the ability to run and debug multiple runtimes. You can even set the layout of the different windows to your liking, so they’re always exactly where you want them. It’s also very customizable, with options to change the color scheme, keyboard bindings, and other things.

The first thing I noticed was that it’s much more responsive than Visual Studio, even though it’s not the fastest IDE out there. While it’s still in development, Rider has already made a very good impression.
