Rider is the best C# IDE IMO, works on linux, mac, and of course Windows. Very happy it's now free!

That's sick, unfortunately too late, ended up ditching full fat vs, employer wouldn't pay for rider so I just went full into vscode and then vim/helix

What do you use Rider for that can't be easily done via CLI?

The question isn't what can't be easily done, but what I prefer. I can compile dotnet code into it's dlls via the cli, I can set up debugging in vscode, but it's a pain. Rider is pre-setup with all of the shortcuts I like, the colors and syntax highlighting I like, and it's been my preferred IDE for years. I like hitting ctrl+shift+b to compile, all of the debug tools it gives, the rundowns, the experience is just clean for me.

That's fair, personally keybindings always struck me as something easier to automate than pay for
