A Dozen Programmer Utilities

Tweaks for VS 2022 can be <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKristensen.Tweaks2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">found here</a>, the one listed is for VS 2019. (In case anyone needs this)

Jetbrains Rider whilst not free (for non commercial use anyway) or cheap is a fantastic tool for .NET developers, I’m not gonna go as far as to say either or is the “best” that’s a bit of a stretch. However in my experience I’ve had a much nicer time writing .NET applications with Rider than that of visual studio 2022.
Evernote has some great alternatives too Evernote is great for its’ simplicity but there are some alternatives like Notion or Obsidian (i’d personally recommend the latter) though, I’m more of a notion user myself.

Programmers use other operating systems other than Windows. Don’t get me wrong, VS2022 released on Linux would be amazing, as I use it at work and think it’s is a fantastic IDE.
Although a really good list, it does kind of appeal to a limited set of developers.
In my mind, if you are going to recommend a toolset, ensure it’s not alienating developers who use other OS’s.
Great list, and I have been looking for an alternative to Beyond Compare, so may give this a spin.
