Same as the win32 ABI - stability over time. I've been able to build up two decades worth of muscle memory because the product has been very consistent over my career. Rider has "only" been on the market for 8 years. I've actually tried this and many of the alternatives. It's not that they're invalid tool choices. They just don't stick for me.

Relearning things like hotkeys for step [in/out/over] is a nonstarter. I don't really have patience to customize a complex tool like VS or Rider. I've made a point of getting comfortable with the default settings so that no employer or client can ruffle my feathers with locked down machines, etc. You can put me on a completely vanilla windows+VS dev box in an air gapped environment and I would be as happy as a clam.
