GDScript is not good and never will be.
If it wasn't good then first, it wouldn't be shipped with the engine, second, people wouldn't use it to make games.

But it was already free for students, and they have a partnership program with OSS which allows you to use it for free as well.
You need to apply once a year and you need to be a maintainer of an active oss project for the oss license. From my experience they're very lenient in regards to what they consider active, but I don't think I'd jump trough the hoops if I didn't start using Rider with the student license. Free for non-commercial offers a easy way to get people to use it and hopefully advocate for it at their jobs.

If you mean for .NET development, there’s still light years between vscode and this. Whereas .NET extensions for vscode are still in their infancy, Rider has been creating a comprehensive IDE for .NET to rival the full edition of Visual Stdio for years. We are talking full Solution file support, Nuget, majorly advanced refactoring via Resharper, pretty much everything you could wish for. And it runs on a Mac!
It sounds like you haven't used the C# extensions in a while. VSCode has Solution File and Nuget support with the C# Dev Kit. Refactoring isn't bad either though not as featureful as I remember from Resharper.

Actually you should take a look at Rider in that case. It’s about 120% of what VS on Windows is! I use it as my daily IDE for a production .NET back end. You won’t look back I promise.
Can it open VS solution and project files?
As a paying subscriber I love this move for the .NET community. As a .NET dev for many years, I've noticed there have been periods of time where either Visual Studio or Rider was far better than the other. Currently, Rider is much better. Hopefully this encourages more people to try out C# & F#. Both fantastic languages. - Edit - Looks like Webstorm (JS/TS editor) is also free now.
> - Edit - Looks like Webstorm (JS/TS editor) is also free now. Wow. VSCode finally got them, it seems.
Limited commercial use 1 to 3 devs should also be freek as projects this small usually are just starting and aren't profitable yet. Beyond that, yes , it should be sustainable for the team to pay for commercial license.
For someone who just got into game development on Mac, this is very interesting. I'd never heard of this IDE before. Will give it a try.
good luck, they will expect you to pay $149 / yr even if you don't make a penny off your game all the while you coulda probably just made it in VS code for free...

No. If you have money to pay for developers, you also have money to pay for tools. Especially since software licenses are going to be a tiny fraction of what the developers cost.
What about 1 developer developing something for commercial use ?

I wonder if construction workers also expect someone to give them free hammers and nails if they want to work on hobby projects. I doubt that. So maybe then software engineers shouldn't be so stuck up about not paying for their tools either?
