I've tried running Linux a couple of times before but Visual Studio is the reason I always go back to Windows.

In my opinion there's no other IDE that's even close to VS.




Have you tried JetBrains Rider?

I've been using Visual Studio for many years, but it still needs the ReSharper plugin to be truely great. As much as I love VS, I've always found it to be a little buggy, and I grew tired of listening to my laptop fans whining constantly.

I switched to Rider, and I love it! It took a while to find a theme that worked for me, but I have it setup perfectly now. There is honestly very little it can't do that VS can, but that goes vice-versa too. I don't recall it crashing even once in all the time I've used it, and it uses far less CPU than VS.
