Rider is your option there, it's better than Visual Studio (I used to work on VS).

How is it so different than Visual Studio that you think it is "better"?

I've used Rider for several years now on and off. Generally I would put these at the top of the list.

- Integrated ReSharper.

- Far better performance (it isn't even close)

- Doesn't take 30GB of disc space up. Visual Studio has been a massive disc space hog since forever. Rider is a few hundred megabytes IIRC.

- Less bugs (Visual Studio has been progressively getting worse).

- There was better tooling IMO around NuGET.

I switched over entirely to Rider as well, in my experience it's far more performant, has a far smoother UX, has a lot more functionality for power users, and includes Resharper by default, giving you access to a bunch more powerful inspections and refactoring.

Offers essentially everything VS does + everything ReSharper does. I switched after years of using VS + R#, and have never looked back.

Pick literally any Visual Studio feature. Rider does it better.

Yep.

VSCode gets you 90% there.

But IMO Rider gets you over 100%.
