This will have to be very good to be better than Visual Studio on Windows. I&#x27;ve used Visual Studio 2013 a fair bit in the last 12 months and it&#x27;s a fantastic IDE. Microsoft are also developing their cross-platform offering Visual Studio Code, which is a nice text editor and I imagine it&#x27;s just going to get better.<p>I am using another JetBrains product, PHPStorm, on the Mac at the moment for some Front End Dev, which is another IntelliJ based product. This has recently become quite sluggish and is starting to annoy me, after all, who wants the tool to get in the way of the work. I hope this gets sorted soon.<p>That said, I think JetBrains do a great job focusing on develop tools and I&#x27;ve used their dotPeek product to untangle the mess left by the absence of release control in a recent contract.
