Oh, you're comparing ST2 to VS without R#. * Ctrl + D does copy lines * you can place the cursor at multiple places since VS 2010 * Extensive search with R#

Oh, you're comparing ST2 to VS without R#. * Ctrl + D does copy lines * you can place the cursor at multiple places since VS 2010 * Extensive search with R# (Search files, classes, methods... * using CamelCase, fuzzy..) * sort shuffle lines, methods or any blocks with R#. So ok, it's R#, and I agree that ST2 is amazing out of the box. (LOVE it for the Rails side project I work on) but adding R# (or standalone add-ins) to visual studio will get you there too. Navigation within a .NET solution will always be better with VS + R# in my opinion.
