Miha Markič

.NET Consultant and Software Engineer, Righthand

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

Software Developer, JetBrains

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.
