Not my experience. I've had the displeasure of having to use Rider at work, and it's much slower than VSCode, if only for boot times which are a pain in the butt for large projects. You gotta pay for that bloat and feature creep somehow.

And that's on a Xeon machine.

As for refactoring, yes, Rider has lots of options that don't work and do half the job. So much so, that I don't use them at all, because they're unreliable.

The requirement for Copilot to qualify an IDE is a bit funny. First, VSCode has some support for it, and, secondly, this is super recent, so unless IDEs didn't exist since last year, I'd say this is not core to the definition of IDE.
