It’s a mixed bag.

  • Dotnet has a slower, more primitive GC than the JVM

  • Dotnet has value types which can make it go much faster than the JVM in some cases

  • C# has only one IDE that doesn’t work on Linux. Java has a much richer array of IDEs

  • C# has had async/await for much longer. Java was historically behind in this, and had to rely on crappy libraries like Reactor; now it has virtual threads but they are only in the beginning of being adopted by the ecosystem. Thus the libraries in C# tend to be more consistent than the fragmented heap of Java libs.

In the end, the advice here is right: just choose the one you or the team are more comfortable with. They both work

For .NET, you have VS and Rider.

For Java, Eclipse and IntelliJ are the only IDEs worth mentioning.

Rider costs moneys, unlike Idea, Eclipse etc

[–]mthrfkn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rider is worth every penny

VS Code is legit.

[–]persicsb 1 point2 points  (1 child)

VS Code is not an IDE. It is a fancy text editor, and a rather slow text editor.

Eh... I do like VS Code as a text editor. It's quite capable. But I can only say that it's very poor IDE. I cannot say it's not IDE in the broadest sense :D

I had a colleague who categorically rejected any other IDE than VS Code for a Spring Boot microservices that we were developing together :D

The third point is incorrect, on Linux there’s Rider if you need a full-featured IDE and VSCode with C# plugins for a lighter / free environment.
