It’s very hard not to roll my eyes when I read this.
No it doesn’t. It’s not mostly flawless, it’s slightly better than using notepad.
It’s considerably worse than the general experience of using vscode.
This has been gone over many times in the past, and I would put it as my #1 c# myth:
1) you can just use vscode
Microsoft has made a business decision to cripple the c# support in vscode to prop up their visual studio division.
It doesn’t “happen to no be as good yet but it’s getting better”.
It will never be a first class c# experience until the business priorities at Microsoft change.
It’s free. So is the visual studio community edition; honestly, if you have to use c# just use that.
