Is there a Visual Studio alternative for C#?

Question

IDE

I started learning C#, downloaded Visual Studio, got fucked by the weight. tell me a good alternative that will weigh less so that the functionality is not cut down

Answer 1

JetBrains Rider - paid (can be pirated, but it's easier to just install VS .Net Desktop)
Visual Studio Code - free, but the functionality is weaker
and further:
Sublime, Notepad ++ - with plugins
...
Notepad and compiling with the
ps command line, so as not to fucking lose weight, take a closer look to the installer settings. if you install only .Net Desktop, then it's not really scary at all. and a beginner usually doesn’t need anything else.
not only that - everything beyond .Net Desktop is not sanely served in any alternative environment. well, except perhaps the web direction in JetBrains Rider .. well, Visual Studio Code .. but I think it will not be comfortable for a beginner in VS Code
pps you can safely cut the starting configuration to a set

as on screen

, the rest, until you understand why - it is not necessary

Answer 2

If you don't need WPF, then Rider is the best there is.
Well, the studio itself doesn’t seem to be super fat, if you don’t check all the boxes in a row, but leave only .net Core

Answer 3

There is no alternative.
There are side projects
Let's say for vue , react is better to use visual studio code

Answer 4

Well, why not, if, for example, you keep the block of the modal window in the form, position it absolutely and hide it.
