Project Rider – A C# IDE

I think the reason most people don't notice this is because developers on average have better computer hardware. Anyone who uses a laptop for on-the-go development on the other hand gets hit with these problems front-on.

In college, I assumed everyone loved Visual Studios just because everyone was told to use it and there were, in reality, no other options. I hope that in the next few years, with the open sourcing of some Microsoft software, that we can see better IDEs for the ecosystem being created.

Any IDE that wants to challenge VS has an uphill battle in what concerns:

- GUI editors

- Parallel code debugging

- GPU debugging

- Enterprise code navigation

- Edit-and-continue

- Debugging native code generated for .NET applications

- Mixed language debugging

- GUI Profiler

- Code Profiler

Just a few items on the top of my head.

I made a raytracer the other day (A necessary rite of passage for any developer) and happened to add a Wavefront (.obj) 3D mesh file file to my solution. Then clicked it. VS just shat out what was essentially a mesh viewer with some pretty advanced capabilities. No wonder it's huge :D

And all that stuff would be fine if opening up the file didn't lock up the whole IDE. Lock the tab with a loading anim and let the developer work elsewhere.

Don't forget the image editor.
