Part of me has always been kinda surprised that Microsoft haven't bought ReSharper from JetBrains and integrated it as a special add-in for the Ultimate branch of Visual Studio. Interesting reading nonetheless, the original post has some good comments: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mikeormond/archive/2010/09/03/msdn-flash-poll-7-visual-studio-add-ins.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mikeormond/archive/2010/09/03/msdn-f...

Yeah, I am also astounded that the refactoring tools in VS haven't been massively beefed up.

    yep, I remember seeing a few discussions around 'do I really need Resharper with Visual Studio 2010?' because they added a whole bunch of functionality that Resharper had. In fact it prompted this: http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/documentation/comparisonMatrix_R5.html http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/documentation/comparisonM...

      Yeah, as that makes clear, Resharper is still staggeringly better.
