I've been using Rider for a couple of months now for Xamarin projects, as Visual Studio was for unknown reasons unbearable slow on my iMac - it totally destroyed my workflow and productivity.

Rider is not perfect, but in many ways miles above Visual Studio.

As Rider doesn't have any Forms editor build-in (AFAIK), I am slowly switching most of my views to fully code, so I don't need to rely on Visual Studio's visual layout editors anymore.



It does but only on Windows and for C# projects:
