Someone I know who works with .net says that there is still no replacement for full Visual Studio for development, which is Windows only.

Rider is the replacement, unless they are doing really specific (like WinUI2/UWP)
VS Code is also manageable. Or the CLI tools, if that's your thing.
Rider is definitely the most equivalent to full Visual Studio though.
I don’t think VS Code is remotely a replacement for VS/Rider. I use VS Code for a lot of things but for large and complex project sets the automation and features in VS are luxuries you really miss. It’s like going back to the Stone Age to use VS Code in those contexts. Trying to fill the voids in VS Code with extensions makes VS Code very brittle. VS Code has its lane but I think they are different tools suited to very different jobs.
I used to think this. Hopped to rider 4 years ago and haven't missed it except for .sqlproj development.
