Interesting. I've been in and out of the .NET world over the last 15 years, and I've used Visual Studio. If my employer sprang for MSDN, I'd use Professional, but for most projects, Community worked great. I did have access to ReSharper at one point, but I didn't end up using most of the features. I've found in my own workflow, you don't need any of those things, though I'm sure some people rely on them for some personal efficiencies. At any rate, I've never found even the free Visual Studio Community to feel like a "basic editor."
