o you want the next gen of next-gen applications? Get the Visual Studio 2010 CTP! Which is – according to Microsoft itself – really just Visual Studio 2008 with ReSharper installed.

Resharper really is that awesome.

VS2010 is so much more than that. They are overhauling tons of the internals. The editor is now WPF and supports MEF. It's extremely easy to add your own Resharper like extenstions with it.

The new ASP.NET Web Packaging architecture is another huge thing that has nothing to do with resharper. Also the new threading screens for debugging and tracking tasks. The resharper like extensions built in are just a very small part of VS2010

Do not bother with ReSharper. I stuck with it through a couple of versions and constantly had problems. Sure it saved me some time, but it also lost me plenty of time due to falls warnings and errors where the functionality of C# was beyond what ReSharper understood. I also found the support for MSBuild was incomplete and when I opened support tickets to fix the deficiencies they closed them saying they were not bugs. One example was not supporting the "import" feature in MSBuild scripts. Their release marketing claimed full support for MSBuild but their support team said that they were not going to support this functionality which was essential for me to use MSBuild Community Tasks which many people do use.

I did not like way the support team handled the bugs I came across and when I went back to just Visual Studio 2008 I was much better off. Maybe the ReSharper team has come a long ways, but I think their problem was technical as much it was about their attitude. I strongly suggest you avoid this extension. And if you do try it, keep in mind that it does not uninstall completely. It breaks a good deal of standard Visual Studio functionality. You will want to set yourself up so that you can revert to your environment before installing ReSharper.

Resharper has saved me at least 100 development hours of meaningless code refactoring and code development. It also never messes up when you start inverting if statements that a human can easily cause if they aren't think about logic theorems. I honestly would feel crippled as a developer without Resharper.

And honestly, any developer that says otherwise just could not take advantage of the leverage the toolset offers, because in the end it's nothing but a tool, a tool only puts out what you put into it.

Take a project that has a few hundred class files or few thousand and rename one of base classes methods or properties and see how far you get with replace all.

Awwww - Is VS2010 really going to be THAT slow and buggy?

Kicked for the amusement of the VS'10 screenshots on Microsoft.com actually being ReSharper screenshots.

It looks like they've also packed something like NDepend (the Architecture Explorer)
