I exclusively do C# dev on macos for what thats worth

With Rider or VS Code on Mac? I've been wanting to play around with C# but I already have Intellij Idea Ultimate subscription and I'm hesitant to add another one. I'm wondering how good of an experience would VSC be for C#.

I've used VSC as a professional for 4 or 5 years now and love it. I prefer it over Visual Studio because the latter is so feature bloated. I'm currently using and M1 Mac to develop on and it works fine. Once you learn the shortcuts, you'll be zooming around.

Azure Data Studio is on its way to being a nice cross platform environment for databases, but it's not fully cooked yet. It was progressing really well but the last few months, it's been really slow to start the execution of any query for some reason. Hopefully they will fix that soon.

Both environments are plug-in based and there are a lot of good free ones available. You should definitely check it out.
