    Continuous Improver at Aviva Solutions and author of Fluent Assertions

    JetBrains Rider is the first tool I install after repaving my development machine. I haven’t launched Visual Studio for months after I switched to JetBrains Rider. Working with branches has never been so smooth!

    Jeremy Miller

    Owner and CEO of JasperFx Software

    JetBrains Rider is my C# development tool of choice these days on both macOS and Windows. If you’re a long-standing ReSharper user, you’ll find it to be an almost seamless transition. I highly recommend the developer-friendly keystroke navigation and fine-grained debugger support.

    Matthew Davey

    Principal Software Engineer, Bonfire Studios

    An IDE can make or break a developer’s day. When JetBrains introduced Rider (C#), we jumped on board as fast as we could. Having been there at every step of the way in Unity’s evolution of IDE integrations, working with Rider has been nothing but an absolute joy. With the introduction of CLion (C++), we were so excited we created an integration plugin for Unreal. Both of these tools help our team on a daily basis, allowing developers to perform their tasks quickly and efficiently, all the while seamlessly integrating with numerous parts of our pipeline.

    Frans Bouma

    Lead Developer, LLBLGen Pro

    In Rider, I just focus on working with my code, as it should be, instead of fighting my IDE. Rider gave me back the joy in writing .NET code.

    Thomas Weiss

    Technical Director and Co-Founder of MRstudios

    Switching to JetBrains Rider was a great decision. Our team has never experienced an IDE that can communicate with Unity in such a flawless and efficient manner. We would highly recommend JetBrains Rider to anyone who aims at improving the efficiency and accuracy of their workflows.

    Independent Software Consultant, Author at Pluralsight.com

    Really pleased with how well JetBrains Rider works on my MacBook. It’s blazingly fast and the debugging experience in C# is at least as good as Visual Studio. Also, it gives me all the benefits of ReSharper out of the box! Loving it. Thanks JetBrains for another great product!
