Possible disadvantages

  Rider is relatively heavy in terms of storage and resources, which may affect performance on lower-end machines or systems with limited storage.
• Dependency on JetBrains Account
  Using Rider requires a JetBrains account for licensing and updates, which is an extra step compared to some other IDEs that don’t require account creation.
