Our Commitment to Avalonia
At JetBrains, we believe in the tools we create and support.
That’s why we use Avalonia in the development of our own products. The macOS and Linux versions of dotTrace and dotMemory, as well as their integrations into Rider, were built using Avalonia. This firsthand experience ensures that we not only understand the needs of Avalonia developers, but also continually strive to improve Rider to meet those needs.

Miha Markič
From my brief test of Rider I can see it has great Avalonia support out of the box, such as context information in .axaml markup like one would expect from C# code. And that is really helpful. I’d certainly recommend it for any Avalonia and .NET development.
Herman Kirshin
Nowadays, developing cross-platform GUI applications with .NET and Avalonia is easier and faster than ever, and these technologies are becoming better every year.
I've chosen Rider as my primary tool because I get the same experience regardless of which OS I work in – Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Full support for Avalonia XAML helps me develop and refactor UI layouts quickly and efficiently, the same as it was for years working with WPF on Windows.
