ReSharper makes navigating my solution and refactoring a breeze. I've been using it for so long that I am sometimes shocked to learn that things it does are not part of stock Visual Studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish it were a little easier to migrate all my settings etc from one workstation to another. Also, having to uninstall and reinstall ReSharper to use the toolbox was a slight annoyance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that with ReSharper I can ensure that our team is utilizing the same coding standards across the entire team. I like the instant analysis the tool provides. It provides many fixes and suggestions to improve our code and even let's us know when there is a newer way to do something. I really appreciate the quick cleanup of the namespaces. Even though I know the newer studio versions are including some of these features, ReSharper still wins hands down. ReSharper also includes a great test runner component. I feel lost without it.

Sometimes ReSharper can get confused, and it'll lose it's place. There are also times where it may not respond to intellisense. The coding standards for naming can be a bit of a pain to configure upfront, I've found it best to just wait till ReSharper shows a suggestion then make the naming changes to match your style. You know you've configured it correctly when the suggestion goes away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Having cut my teeth on Jetbrains products moving into a Microsoft (i.e. Visual Studio) development environment was 100% more natural using ReSharper. More specifically I was able to quickly and easily tune my productivity tools (shortcuts and macros) to match what I was used to.
Then, getting deeper into C# / .Net development ReSharper has enabled me to maintain and enforce strict code quality rules across the code bases that I maintain and oversee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Visual Studio ;) Seriously, aside from VS itself there are no complaints that I have about my experience with ReSharper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It feels like utter magic. Everything you do is much simpler and quicker. I love the key bindings, and shortcuts, not to mention the refactoring and class creating. Some of my other favorite features are the auto complete with is very smart and save me a lot of time because I'm not the most accurate typist, so the auto complete feature made me feel like a code ninja by coding so fast. The code hints actually taught me so much about the inter-workings a c# that I never would have learn about otherwise, it will not only make suggestions to enhance performance but also simplicity and readability. That is by far the coolest feature of ReSharper there is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's addicting! I will never write in C# without it. But it reality the only issue I had with it at times was that it could be difficult creating templates because there were a couple of different places to create them and it seems like I always had to try a couple different times to get it right.

Resharper has been invaluable over the years in providing insight into my code, easy refactoring, shortcuts and features to make coding easier and ways to optimize my development and code. I started back in 2010 using it and it was a bit clunky, but its improved dramatically in performance and features.Recently I tried to use what was in Visual Studio 2015 alone and I quickly went back to using Resharper. Visual Studio may have some of the features of Resharper but you find out quickly that Resharper does it better and has WAY more features than stock Visual Studio. I wont develop without it now!

Sometimes hard to figure out the keyboard shortcuts and they sometimes have collided with known Visual Studio keystrokes. You can configure all this but its a ramp up time. Also I don't know all that it can do and the documentation does not help enough. There are videos on Pluralsight.com about Resharper but its not enough. I feel like I could do even more but don't know it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Integrating with unit testing through menu items.
- Code intellisense and code navigation.
- Code completion especially with XAML code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- The latest Resharper versions for Visual studio became very slow and consumes a lot of memory and processor time that lead me sometimes to turn Resharper off to speed up my work especially when I work on a large project solution.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
quick jumping to file/class/method is a lifesaver, various code optimizations. It adds some features, that should be core part of the visual studio! I cannot work without it, it spoiled me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can add a bit of slowliness, it can take some time to configure everything for your likes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ReSharper is SO easy to use and I can't find a case when a person should not use it. Refactoring with ReSharper is quick and easy. ReSharper suggests alternate code paths, which can help simplify your code. ReSharper has unobtrusive methods to let you know that there may be a better way to do something, or the way that you wrote a piece of code may not be along the lines of the code standard that had been set.

ReSharper has to scan the code before fully loading - I recognize this has to happen at some time, but it tends to bog down the load of visual studios initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Reach set of refactoring features. Seamless integration with Visual Studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pricing is costly. Minor conflicts with MS VS keyboard shortcut keys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
