But you'll need a powerful system with 64GB of RAM to use it.

Microslop thinks that "Clutter free" means "bundled with an always on LLM" ๐Ÿ˜ธ

This is on my work PC, I can't just switch there (:

For .NET development Visual Studio and Rider are the only decent options, everything else is "trash". Teams is the company communication tool (besides Outlook).

And we run SQL Servers in Azure, PostgreSQL would cost the same (but I'd love to switch to it myself).

You don't need 64 GB of RAM, I was happy with 48 GB too, but the headroom is nice. 32 GB would be borderline for my work though, especially as I often have two heavy backend services open (2x Visual Studio) plus a Python project for automated tests (VS Code).

    Just don't use Teams. There's Zulip, Mattermost, Rocket.Chat, even Matrix and XMPP.

    People don't choose Teams, it's forced on them by executives that rather save a little licensing money rather than have an effective communication tool. The entire MS stack is basically kept alive by convincing corporations to shove it down the throats of their employees. The only people I ever hear say anything nice about MS products are system admins that like the centralized way you can lock down and micromanage Windows instances.
