Blog post from Tabnine
JetBrains' Rider is a cross-platform, proprietary IDE that supports .NET, .NET Core, and mono-based projects, offering robust features such as native code analysis, refactoring, unit test runners, and debuggers. Its standout quality lies in its extensibility through various plugins that enhance workflow and efficiency. Notable plugins include jsDelivr for managing third-party dependencies, Cognitive Complexity for assessing code readability, and Tabnine for AI-driven code completion. Other useful tools include Key Promoter X for learning keyboard shortcuts, Heap Allocations Viewer for monitoring memory usage, and plugins for integrating cloud services like AWS and Azure. Rider also supports the IdeaVim plugin for users accustomed to Unix and Vim, enabling keyboard-only navigation. These plugins collectively aim to boost productivity and maintain code quality within the Rider environment.
