Care to share why you find that? They seem to have built up quite a portfolio of products.

There is nothing significant that they do that is not easily accomplished with VSCode, at least not in my use case. The biggest convenience was it working ootb. With CMake and clangd plugins, VSCode is close to the same thing.

Ah okay. Makes sense. I seemed like there were more negative experiences.

In my case I've been working with PyCharm, living hell for the performance and useless functionalities...

Managed to switch to Atom after a week.

Then NeoVim and now I'm on Helix. šŸ˜ŽšŸ‘

My main focus is to limit reliance on software assistance other than pure linting and completion. Thanks to that I can use with anything and still write decent code.

Do you have any recommendations on Helix? I looked at it. Looks very nice. Didn't really switch to it (yet), because it felt a bit uncomfortable for a few common actions. It seems to do a lot of things right.

Do you use plugins? Any vastly different configs? Anything else?

What products were you using?

CLion, mostly.

Ah, ok. Got no experience with that. Only have been using Resharper and Raider, but I'm mostly satisfied with those.

What does it do for your that Visual Studio does not do, or how does it do it better?

I’m fixing to be working in C# on an Avalonia project, so I’m curious.

The refactoring and auto complete features of Resharper are pretty good. Have been working professionally with it in Visual Studio for years now. But to be true, I couldn't tell what had been added to VS in last years to make it superfluous maybe šŸ˜‚

In private, I use Raider, as it is a pretty good replacement for Visual Studio, has Resharper features build in and does cost a lot less than VS. Also, it's performance is a lot better compared to VS with Resharper plugin.

Would be great if you'd tell some of your experiences with Avalonia after you've worked a bit with it. Never heard of it before today, but it sir looks interesting.
