PS: pricing is the sad bit :(, but there is no competition in this area. I hope JetBrains will work harder.
- lcedp 13y agoDiagrams look like a mess to me: virtually everything is connected to anything in unknown way (no method names or arguments specified). Text at the left is much clearer.
- rubberband 13y agoI sit in front of Visual Studio more hours in a day than I sleep, and by and large, I love it. But I can't for the life of me understand why the mapping diagram would help. I suppose in some unfamiliar code it may help me get up to speed faster, but this seems like a rehash of exporting UML to Visio? I cannot afford Ultimate, just Professional, so I admit I have no hands on experience with the tool. What JetBrains product is comparable?
- CmonDev 13y agoThere is no JetBrains product like that, I just wish they had, because they have a potential to build something lightweight. Best use cases for me personally are the visual dependency graph and method call diagrams when dealing with poor-quality code (huge classes with a lot of method dependencies). I would pay a hundred bucks for this, but not a thousand dollars.
- dman 13y agoIf youre dependent on auto generated diagrams to understand the structure of your code you have bigger problems.
- CmonDev 13y agoIt's good for bad legacy code. Also good if you are so proud of your architecture that you want a print out on your wall :).
- sparkie 13y agoDiagrams may not be necessary, but we all depend on auto-generated visualizations, whether it's a "find all references" feature of some IDE that produces a hyperlinked list, or in the most primitive case, the use of grep to produce a list of locations in files for some identifier. I'd argue that you need help if you're not using some auto-generated visualization to view relationships in code, because the alternative is to scan through files manually. The choice of diagrams, lists, or some other visualization is irrelevant, it's the preference of the programmer.
