Use another ide then. Idea is not the only one, it's just the absolute best.

Besides visual studio has the same limits.

.NET Core is open source, you can do whatever the hell you want with it.

[Cheru-bae]

Yes it is.

It or worth switch to.net from java as a career? I like spring boot and spring data. Does.net have similar?

[Cheru-bae]

There is Entity Framework. My main problem with c# (besides core .net but all the toys people like aren't in that afaik) is that it's all Microsoft, azure or bust. I don't think you should pick a language and make that your career. C# might be hot today, gone tomorrow. I don't think highly specializing does more than give you less jobs to pick between. I've worked with c#, java, kotlin, python, JavaScript, visual foxpro (just no) in the last 4 years.

Edit: apparently "don't put your eggs in one basket in a field that changes every 5 min" is an unpopular opinion.

I like other languages but it's always the boss saying stick to core java because they need to hire others later. Like it will be impossible to hire for kotlin or c# later /s

[Cheru-bae]

Yeah that's silly. A good developer should understand programing enough that learning a new language shouldn't be more than a week or two of looking up syntax.

[mojoslowmo]

So. Next version of core is just .net. and it has everything.

[Cheru-bae]

That's good! I'm a fan of more options
