Intellisense was something I was missing for years. I contribute to a large C#/netcore project and it was a pain to use emacs until I discovered OmniSharp-Roslyn[0]. Auto code completion works pretty much flawlessly for me now. [0] - https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-emacs

> ... Coupled with dense and hard to find documentation that seems to be spread out over 14 different msdn domains and GitHub projects. docs.microsoft.com is steadily improving this. > I've tried no less than 10 times over the last few months to get "intellisense" working in emacs via roslyn and it has never worked. https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-emacs Are you not using this? Works great for me. If you want getting started to be less of a chore use VS Code, VS, Rider, VS for Mac, Xamarin Studio, or Monodevelop.

What is it with using C# w/ emacs that is wrong? Compared to say development of Java or python code on emacs? Although it doesn't have all the tooling present from say VS, it is still managable with refactoring, autocompletion and some more functionality working already. I am the current maintainer of omnisharp-emacs and would love to know out what are the most pressing problems people encounter using C# on emacs via omnisharp - https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-emacs

I don't program C#, but there is OmniSharp for Emacs: https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-emacs & you can look to csharp-mode page on emacswiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CSharpMode (and this post: https://bbbscarter.wordpress.com/2013/08/17/c-autocompletion...) P.S. There were C# parser for CEDET (in contrib), but it wasn't updated for a long time
