How feasible is it to use Eclipse to develop .NET applications? Is it best just to go with Visual Studio?
Update: I am not especially concerned with the cost and I am using Windows, not linux. I am mostly trying to avoid having to use two different IDEs.
Another way of asking this question is "are there any good Eclipse plugins for doing .NET development". Unfortunately, the answer appears to be "no".

Eclipse for . NET is a desktop development framework based on the Eclipse open-source project. The goal of this project is to enable . NET developers to build their own Eclipse distributions using Microsoft.NET desktop technology.
Why Eclipse? The Eclipse IDE is a well-known open-source framework that was originally released in late 2001 and has been long favored for Java code development. Although initially tailored to Java, the IDE is highly extensible and has support for many languages including C, C++, C#, and several others.
"Does it all", "Integrates with most of tools" and "Easy to use" are the key factors why developers consider Eclipse; whereas "Intellisense, ui", "Complete ide and debugger" and "Plug-ins" are the primary reasons why Visual Studio is favored.
NET Core 7.0 and 8.0 versions are scheduled to be released in the November of 2022 and 2023 respectively. Meanwhile, the older system continues to receive smaller updates on a need basis. This has assisted the . net development services to stay on top of their game.
You can get a free version of Visual Studio (Express); that's probably a better way to go than Eclipse.
