It sounds like your experiences are seeing people who don't really know the tool and / or the framework. To someone who knows both, intellisense (especially adding in resharper) can be a huge productivity increase.
Snippets are pretty much available in every language, and they are a good start. The key thing about the tools VS (and resharper) add is that they understand the code, to a certain extent. So you're not merely doing text based processing of the code, but semantic processing at some level. Every year it gets better and better. As you come to understand what it is doing within that context, you can really use it to fly while coding, especially while doing things like refactoring.
- ajross 13y agoReally that was my point: show me a real expert user so I can see what I'm missing. I've simply never found one in the wild.
- thom 13y agoI pondered this a few years ago with some colleagues but it never seemed possible to get off the ground: real programmers, who consider themselves fairly good, using best practices, working on real, meaty projects, videoing _everything_ and making it public. Actually being able to see in detail how this stuff unfolds would be great for me. You can sometimes follow along with ludum dare etc but that's mostly stuff hacked together quickly. I'd absolutely love it if top open source coders showed up live streaming their work.
