What Hacker News says
13 sourceshttps://github.com/OmniSharp/Omnisharp-vim is a thing, but I don’t know how good it is. I would probably go with VSCode or Rider (and their respective Vim plugins), as they are quite productive for .NET.
In Understanding the .NET ecosystem: The evolution of .NET into .NET 7You can use Linux or Mac to develop C#/.NET apps with VSCode, JetBrains Rider, or even vim: https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vim
In Java is in decline, and there's data to prove itA source for LSP growing out of OmniSharp? Interestingly I'm not finding much. This isn't a totally accurate history but it's close enough: https://blog.logrocket.com/how-to-use-the-language-server-pr...
The original project was at https://github.com/nosami/Omnisharp (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6006954). But over time it was split into several repos.
The history article above says that OmniSharp started out on Roslyn, but actually it originally used NRefactory. The old server is here: https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-server
EDIT: Oh, just found https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/wiki/P... . This cites OmniSharp and also the TypeScript language server.
In BBEdit 14The author mentions a lack of good smart completion, but if you use C# there is omnisharp, which works quite well.

It provides intellisense, find-usages, and other features.

you get full IDE features as well as refactoring inside of vim. for most things you can use vim as a full featured IDE these days.
well for refactoring you might have a few issues on, say, c++ and objective-c

In The problem with vimOmnisharp - True intellisense, find usages, semantic refactor, etc for C# in Vim
2 points · Open discussionjava swt in linux is still horrible (yes i know there are workarounds such as patching your font [1]).
but if you use jedi and by extension things like youcompleteme[2], vim-dispatch etc. the only thing that's really missing is debugging support and refactorings.
omnisharp[3] does pretty cool refactorings with nrefactory. and the author youcompleteme is interested in having youcompleteme work as some sort of ide daemon, where you could for example add stuff like refactorings as ide features.
vagrant and virtualenv support sounds interesting though.
