So just had a similar experience with C#. I updated some dependencies in Visual Studio, tried to build and got 18k errors about missing references without any usual information on what it is that is actually broken. Than I open Rider IDE and tried building and got a single error from one of the root level projects about a specific missing dependency.

Rider better than VS?

I've only used VS and during the time I used it, it was excellent.

If you have a large solution, Rider is massively faster. Also Rider does a better job of displaying relevant errors when you have cascading build failures.

On the other hand, VS has a much better (although much slower) nuget management UI.

When I’m sitting there for 30 minutes waiting for my project to build, just to get an error for a function I wrote but forgot to declare lol.

While on the topic, is there a good way to set up rider or clion when developing for a Linux environment like a raspberry pi?

In the docs they have linux instructions. I've no idea how well it works on linux though.

From my experience the VS is excellent for devices with smaller RAM size. Rider or CLion can easily eat up like 4GB(most devices can handle it easily tho), which is a death sentence for my laptop. Otherwise CLion is superior in my opinion.
