    I'm using Visual Studio Code but it's too much agnostic (no code completion, no "ctrl+," to search for symbols etc...)

    The only thing that doesn't work in VSCode is Ctrl+'; code completion is there, you need to find out why you don't have it.

    I use MonoDevelop; it has code completion but it's a little tricky to use. No Ctrl+' either.

    I've been using rider for a few years now, before that I was using the freebie version consulo: https://consulo.app

    Thank you, C# support (OmniSharp) was not installed. I will give it another try, I will also try MonoDevelop.
    By the way, did you use, with any of these, debugging features?

    I hope you enjoy it, it had great unity integration and perhaps it might still be better than Rider in some ways, it has all the dark themes etc..it's based on intelliJ...so a lot of plugins

    Does it have the Unity code snippets (auto-completing Unity methods like Start(), Update() and all the MonoBehaviour methods)?

    No, I haven't yet.

    MonoDevelop is a bit awkward and tricky to use, you may prefer VS Code. :)

    Good question, don't remember in detail about completion...but it does have code completion for C# for sure, debugging was of course working...even stuff like see assigned to values to a script on game objects in unity scenes/prefabs was there many years ago... so it was really super

    Why did you turn to Rider then? ;)

    Edit: what is JRE?

    It was just a niggly thing...the fans on the MacBook Pro that I used at the time was running louder when I was using Consulo than when I was using Rider... and paying a few dollars per month was worth it for something I use professionally every day.

    JRE = Java Runtime Environment... just test the one with it bundled
