Hi and thanks for the work on Roslyn, I really like what you guys are doing with it.
Yeah, I know, many of the features of ReSharper are something VS should have had for a decade, regardless whether ReSharper has them or not. We - VS users - tried to tell VS dev teams in around 2005 that JBuilder (of all things, if you can remember that - it got eventually Eclipsed) had better refactoring and navigation tools than Visual Studio. The message from VS has consistently been that you are going to fix that, and when I heard of Roslyn, I though that this time it may be really happening. Only it has been ten years. Luckily .NET/C# was marginally better from developer perspective than JVM/Java from the beginning (the difference has grown ever since), and ReSharper (and other plugins) helped to keep Visual Studio afloat until today.
Now that Microsoft has embraced open source, community contributions, shorter release cycles, .NET Core, etc., I think you have a great foundation for the next ten years of .NET.
Oh, rest assured, I will continue to bug you guys through different channels.
