In my previous company I used VS for Mac, it wasn’t a great experience… but it was better than nothing. Then along came a Rider license…
The tooling for VS Code might have improved, but Rider is the IDE of choice… even on windows.

What are the benefits of Rider over CLion?
- Matthew ( @Matthew@programming.dev ) 11•1 year ago
Rider is for C# development.

And F#, don’t forget F# :)

Why shouldn’t I forget F#? Everyone else does. :')

It’s pushed by Jetbrains as a C++ IDE for Unreal developers. https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/rider-unreal/

Is this supposed to give me confidence in .Net MAU?

Well at this point, don’t trust any framework Microsoft pushes. They told everyone UWP was the future for Windows after WPF, then stopped for WinUI and the app SDK…

The problem with UWP is that nobody liked or wanted it, so obviously it died. Developers got locked into a walled garden, Xbox users saw no benefit (until recently with emulators, but I digress), Windows phone users practically didn’t exist to build apps for, and PC gamers got the real short end of the stick with everything becoming a buggy, locked-down, performance-hampering, feature-lacking mess.
Outside of letting Microsoft half-ass port some Xbox titles to PC, it was pretty much useless.
I have started using Avalonia, and even though I am still learning, I am very satisfied with it. There are growing pains obviously, but as you said, I have no confidence in Microsoft UI frameworks.

MAUI is an open source project that’s a part of the .NET Foundation. One would hope that instills a bit more confidence, but I have yet to see any projects actually using it. Regardless, it’s forkable and permissively licensed (MIT), so the lifetime is theoretically indefinite.

Darn. I was really hoping it would improve.
I guess I can just use VS Code for now. And maybe use Rider in the future.

Not surprised after the the main VS Mac developer left MS a few months ago.

I’m not surprised lol.
At my workplace I occasionally do work on an AutoCAD lisp add-in, half the time I don’t know what I’m doing when something isn’t quite working right 😭
My manager is tempted to drop support because none of us really know what we’re doing with it… the original dev is long gone and none of us know LISP

How long did it survive?
