It’s the best option for Unity development, if you don’t want to pay. (There are a lot of people in this category—students who want to get into game development.)

I'm a paid user of Rider, but mostly use VS Mac as it's faster, cleaner, and more intuitive. Plus (and despite also being a paid user of Goland too) there's something about the JetBrains IDE range's font rendering I've never really liked; it seems somehow not crisp enough. Hard to put into words, though their new UI style is much improved.

As long as VS Mac supports your project types over the last year and a half it has come on hugely. I've no problem switching to VS Code, and I saw this coming a while back, but it's a shame.

I also use Visual Studio on Windows extensively. Whilst it does much more than VS Mac it's uglier and far less reliable, both of which matter to me in quality of life ways.
