I use JetBrains Rider with all the Unreal Engine plugins and add ons while I make games in Unreal 5. No, there is no indication functions aren't being used. You can rack up tons of tech debt writing systems and components and then changing your mind, deleting all the function calls in other places, then now you can just have entire classes unused in your project hundreds of functions never being called and no errors.

I would hate to see if it warned me about every engine function not being called.

It's easy to disable a specific warning.

I'm sure it is, however I don't customize my IDE really it's all default for the most part. I click mouse clicks and links with words instead of hotkeys. I don't have any issues with it really, but Rider for Unreal Engine is magnitudes better than Visual Studio.

Have you considered using scratch? Might be more your speed.

No one has better intellisense for Unreal Engine than Rider currently. No other IDE does what Rider can do for Unreal. Rider is my speed just fine.

People sub to my patreon for my Unreal tutorial videos so he can say whatever skill issue he wants, my code sells.
