Speak for yourself. Editing C# is much better in Rider than VStudio.
Eclipse was a competitior, but I dread having to use it for anything nowadays. CLion just doesn't work correctly, yet.
For Rust VS Code is better, but only because of awesome rust-analyzer plugin.
Eclipse is still my get to go, InteliJ wants me to buy Clion + InteliJ licenses for features Eclipse does out of the box.
VSCode isn't an IDE, plus Rust is the new kid in town.
Add enough plugins and it will be. Rust being new is one part, other part is that Jetbrains really insists on their plugins vs LSP.
I get Rust errors in Clion on programs that run normally. Bugs that rust-analyzer/cargo don't report.
This allows significantly more functionality than any type of LSP + editor ever can. The refactoring functionality is what makes an IDE into an IDE. I use every single feature of IntelliJ every day, and I actually would prefer even more refactoring functionality. LSPs can’t come close to this.
LSPs can compete with classic Visual Studio, but there’s a reason JetBrains started with ReSharper, replacing the refactoring engine of Visual Studio.
Rather arbitrary distinction that doesn't even hold true for all IDEs out there.
Can you select a function and drag and drop it into a different file or class and have the code automatically adapt, add/remove parameters, imports, etc as needed?
If you have two functions called doA, in different modules, and you have a file that imports doA from module 1, and you copy that doA call and paste it in a new file, does the IDE correctly add the import as well, or does it just paste the text and you have to import manually?
I don't remember having any opinions on Kotlin. I've never seen it use in production, just tales.
You sure, you don't have me confused for someone else.
Anecdata time. I was working on codegen in C#. So I wrote the codegen in netstandard2.1. That is until a team member that used Visual Studio complained it didn't work for him. So I had to rewrite the thing in netstandard2.0 (shudder) and it worked.
I haven't seen anyone that wanted to go back to VS after using Rider. I did use it for a while, but after Rider it just seemed like an inferior version.
How is autocomplete better in Rider? Faster coming up with suggestions? More helpful suggestions? IntelliSense and IntelliCode in latest VS versions is pretty decent...
Performance in VS has improved since going 64-bit.
What refactorings are unique to Rider?
UI? What features?
Your statements smells of preference and sound vague.
Because it is. My preference, never claimed it wasn't one. But I don't know people that would recommend anything else. VS Code is faster but poorer refactors/debug experience. It was just a subjective concensus.
I haven't timed the IDEs nor do I intend to in near future.
I think overall the helpfulness was better, and support for bleeding edge features like CodeGen, but I haven't used VS in like year or two.
I know Rider/ReSharper can fix variable names that are mentioned in comments, which VS can't do (and it gets on my nerves when I don't have ReSharper).

Idk if it comes with VS out of the box or comes from
free extension called 'Roslynator', but eitherway it is there.
Also, it's been a long time now since ReSharper was "needed" to work in VS. ReSharper also bogged down VS a lot.

Of course it depends on the size of the project, the plugin used for VSCode (I'm using Microsoft Intellisense).
