What? I'm not telling you to shut up about Rider. I'm sure Rider is a nice
IDE. I personally use CLion for some of my C/C++ projects, though since most
of my projects are Python, I use PyCharm quite a bit. But the focus of
Fedora Developer Portal is showing how to use tools in Fedora to do awesome
things. And to date, none of the JetBrains IDEs (even my favored PyCharm,
which is open source) are available in Fedora. PyCharm is not mentioned in
the Fedora Developer Portal for Python for exactly that reason. Neither is
IntelliJ IDEA for Java. Same goes for Android development using Eclipse or
Android Studio, as neither the Android SDK nor the associated IDE/IDE
components are packaged in Fedora.
Self-correction: Android development is briefly mentioned in the
Developer Portal, specifically with Android Studio.

It's only mildly annoying, as all of that code for development is FOSS
and could be made available in Fedora proper. But if I am to apply the
same standard I did to C# to this, that would need to be removed until
someone is willing to bring that stuff into Fedora. I am okay with
this, but I imagine someone else is going to get annoyed at me for
that standard (even though that's what the Developer Portal is
supposed to be about).
