Been a dotnet developer exclusively on Linux for around 7 years now and I've never wanted to go back. Since .net core and Rider windows doesn't really have anything to offer for me. It's different if you're stuck on .net framework of course.
we do cross platform stuff and I'm 99% of the time working on Linux, now I have to do some .NET core C# coding, was frustrated first with the language support on Linux - until I tried Rider. If I'll have to do more C# going forward I'll consider asking my employer to buy me a Rider license. The alternative would probably be me booting to Windows for that project (which I absolutely hate doing and only rarely have to)
Do you do that coding for a company, like for a job? I managed a team of .NET developers for a while, and although I don't know anything about C#, much less Windows, it sounded almost impossible to do any Enterprise development without pulling in a .NET framework. I think I did once try to compile one of our applications on Linux, and got stuck on a dependency that was only available on Windows.
