I was using VS Code as my code editor for Unity scripts. Switched over to JetBrains Rider - proprietary but I got free educational license with my uni alumni email.

Now I feel like I'm being spoiled so hard by a proprietary IDE: full Unity API integration, auto recognition of Unity project folders and related scripts in the same game, separate IDE windows for different game projects.

I suppose some things in life are worth paying for.

@Rovine Does that mean you like JetBrain better than VS code.? yes me too.
There are certain requirements for the computer configuration, such as CPU, (every time I open JB, my computer CPU will go to 100% immediately)

@Sphinx @Rovine

Good tools for any trade are worth paying for. And once you get used to them, it's hard to give up and keep productivity.

So, if it is good I think perfectly natural to stay with it.

@design_RG Honestly I forget to treat software tools like hardware tools - if it's more satisfying to get a job done, paying a bit more is worth it.
