Odd question maybe, my company uses C# and I've been picking up more backend responsibilities. However, I'm a Linux and Neovim user. I do have Windows and Visual Studio available but I just find it awkward. Is anyone here having success with Linux and Neovim for C#? Even trying to learn more about the language is awkward as so many resources go straight into VS.

Yeah, but from what I saw it doesn't help much with master-detail setups? Like, inserting or updating an order with order lines etc. We rely heavily on those.
Important concepts: .NoTracking and setting the EntityState correctly ( mark as deleted, updated, ... )
Additionally, sometimes it's easier to update things granularly, instead of all at once.
I suppose the annoyance comes from updating in bulk on a POST and trying to map everything?

It better be at a 30GB install size.
A 2TB nvme drive is less than $200. If VS is saving significant dev time, people would install it even if much larger install.

It is surprising to me that C# and .NET is comparatively under-represented in North America where it was born. Nothing but good experience in developing and operating software with it, both desktop apps (Win/Mac) and backend services (Linux).
I like .Net and C#, but I've had a lot of experiences that were not good. I personally hated working with Visual Studio 2017. 2019 was an improvement, but one so small it was still awful. I recently used it again (2021?) and was cynically surprised that they FINALLY got scrolling that isn't forcibly line-based. Why did they even bother now ? This and some other small things that used to make the experience painful ar…
Yeah it's big and takes some big chunk of resources, but that has never been a problem in my daily work.

> ORM? EF Core is pretty good. We're moving to .Net, and I was surprised by how poor the built-in DB stuff is. It's like either assembly or Python, but nothing in the middle. That said I've also been impressed about how nice it is to get stuff going. I used C# back in the .Net 1.1 days and yeah massive difference in ergonomics.
>We're moving to .Net, and I was surprised by how poor the built-in DB stuff is Right now EF Core is probably the best ORM that has ever existed. What exactly is missing? Although for performance you would probably reach for something like Dapper but that is not an ORM.
I usually call .SaveChanges() when i % 20 == 0
I'd be curious to know what is the actual adoption of .net core. I.e. of all the actively developed applications (not just new projects), what is the .net core / .net framework split. I found that the upgrade process is not seamless. Asp.net core has little to do with asp.net MVC. Winform introduced all sorts of contraints. The BCL is full of small changes or features missing. People are less vocal than for the pytho…
> Not breaking your users used to be a laudable goal of the .net team. I miss it Is it that bad once you are on .NET Core? Asking as someone still on Framework. Framework -> Core ofcourse is breaking, what did you expect when going cross platform and totally rearchitected?
My big problem with .NET is that a lot of line-of-business apps were written using ASP.NET Web Forms, but there is no upgrade path other than “rewrite most of it”. It feels like the pain everyone went through upgrading from Python 2 to Python 3. It also doesn’t help that .NET Framework has its support cycle tied to the OS, and hence is 10+ years. This means that businesses can be lazy and just leave these old apps to…

I’ve been using Rider in Ubuntu for a year or so, and not really missed VS. Only once when looking into the identity UI templates which required some scaffolding stuff in VS.

Well that was my point, either you're writing a lot of code yourself ("assembly"), or you use EF ("Python"). We're not used to something like EF, perhaps it would work for us. But debugging generated queries due to performance issues is something we'd like to avoid. For now the decision was made to not use EF.
If you don't want to debug difficult queries, then extend it to use Dapper and use the best of both worlds.
