What should Rider 2026.1 fix? I'm asking for a bit of community upvoting to know what issues you're most eager to get in to Rider 2026.1, which we're in the process of planning. How else were you planning on spending a wet Friday afternoon?

I just heard a new term I'm going to be using in the future: Slopsplaining:
When someone who doesn't know anything about a topic offers up unsolicited AI generated slop 'advice' to others.

My new hobby: listening to the Very Important People(tm) who are soooo important they just have to loudly have meetings in public places such as airports. Taking notes so I can let their bosses know. Or competitors. Clearly they want this info to be public or they wouldn’t shout it.
