Finally. It would be great if Unity3D add official plugin to this IDE. For now Consulo[1] is competent alternative (build by some cool dude using IntelliJ Community Edition).

I believe Unity3D is working on some sort of common way for any ide/debugger to be plugged in. With that and the deals they have with MS I don't see them adding support for another IDE.

JetBrains products are very powerful, well designed, customizable, and overall awesome in my experience (ReSharper and PyCharm). Looking forward to this! And really hoping they will have a free edition, although I doubt it.

Yay! I've been waiting for this for years. And if they would make an F# IDE, that would be heaven.

Ever since I started reading the C# language docs I wanted to switch to it from Java. Open sourcing some of the components of the language only pushed that drive farther.

I'm glad to see that now a switch to C# is viable for me. I need a good IDE, and nothing really comes close to the 'gold' standard, JetBrains products.

Bravo! Can't wait to use it.

As a Xamarin developer, I'm really hoping that this plays well with Xamarin and thus liberates me from having to deal with the buggy and invasive Windows 10. I'd much prefer to be on Mac but once you're used to Visual Studio, Xamarin Studio is really a bitter pill to swallow.

Can't wait!

Is there an EAP available?

People praise IntelliJ it a lot, but my experience with Android Studio and its slowness always reminds me that its writen in java.

I have been developing with Monodevelop the last 4 years when I switched to mono/ubuntu and I don't see here nothing that it doesn't have already: cross platform, excellent refactoring support, multiple targets. Maybe its because of my particular use case but I even prefer it to Visual Studio.

Visual Studio is one of the best IDE out there, and it is likely to remain better than Rider for at least a while.

It surely "comes close" ;)
