> I had to ditch ReSharper to get to 2019 because together with the performance of the IDE itself, it just wasn't usable. R# ate gigs of Ram and Roslyn does the same. It's not surprising since they basically do the same thing, in managed code! But I can't pay the CPU time and memory to analyze my code TWICE on every edit.

I'm holding off on 2019 as much as I can. Between 'forcing' an upgrade for .NET Core 3.0 and the fact Resharper slows it down too much, I decided to give Rider a try.

I'm finding myself not missing VS a whole lot; on one hand Rider is taking way more RAM to start and load, but it stays pretty constant after the first debug session, winds up staying under VS for memory on longer loads (Especially if I've got multiple solutions open) and it's smoother than VS the whole time.



Is Rider 64-bit?


It is, but that's not too relevant, as the ReSharper component runs in another process (but that's managed code as well, so probably also runs as a 64-bit process).
