Hi guys i am looking for some really “lightweight” ide for C# , what do you think? VS Code?Atom?

vi

EDIT: I’m being a little tongue and cheek responding… vi is extremely lightweight but that is because it is only an Unix terminal-mode editor, but it is still freely available anywhere and everywhere, but by default it is far from being an “IDE” in the traditional sense. You can get all kinds of integrations for it though; I haven’t used any of them.

Obligatory “good old days” anecdote: a gentleman named Phil whom I worked with in 1992 used to use vi back when most of us used brief or turbo C, and when queried he said “But look how fast it comes up!”

I think Kurt was mostly joking, I use vim personally https://www.tutorialspoint.com/unix/unix-vi-editor.htm . But for Unity and C#, I only use Visual Studio. But then, I used to work at Microsoft.

Visual Studio is not usually described as “lightweight”, but using it as a code editor is still a rather trivial application as far as performance and resource usage compared to almost every other game development tool you’re likely using, including Unity itself.

Good point, it’s huge. I’ve used VS Code too.
