		dogles on April 18, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Unreal vs. Unity Opinion Just want to +1 that Rider for Unreal [1] is GREAT. It's also totally useable for non-Unreal C++ projects. Things like code inspection (e.g. goto definition/find usage/etc) and refactoring are actually fast, unlike Visual Studio. I've got a few quibbles about low-level (think asm) debugging, but I've pretty much moved exclusively to Rider at this point. The Unreal-specific stuff is nice as well: being able to see what blueprints override a uproperty or implement an event is a huge time saver for AAA-scale codebases.

Rider was damn good compared to Visual Studio, been over a year since I used it and was still in beta then as well

Do you think it is possible to use IL2CPP within Rider for Unreal? Then C# could be used in RFU.

No, IL2CPP is proprietary Unity tech.
