Performance in Visual Studio has become such a problem that I've renounced it entirely in favor of Rider.

Between that and my preference for Macs for my personal laptops -- and I've been very excited at how good .NET Core has gotten on non-Windows platforms -- as well as a ~3 year sojourn working with Java 8/11 in IntelliJ, I've gotten very comfortable working with JetBrains IDEs and generally prefer them when I have the option. Structure View is great, the search is nice and snappy.
The only thing that frustrates me with Rider is I don't think you can apply fixes from Roslyn analyzers at the file/project/solution level like you can in VS. We enforce our team's coding standards using those, so it's a minor pain point, but not enough to get me to stop using Rider given how much faster it is.
VS Code isn't quite as good on C# projects, I will admit, but still so much better (less blocking) in general.
Not familiar with Rider though.
