Lots of folks mentioning VSCode as the alternate to VS, but it is very much not that. VS is an IDE, VSCode is a text editor that just has a big plugin community. Do not expect a low learning curve. The VS alternative that’s an actual IDE, and does have a low learning curve, is JetBrains Rider. Unfortunately it is neither F nor OSS.
