Cost is the biggest factor for me. I get an academic discount with Resharper, bringing the price down to $49. DevExpress doesn’t offer me that, so it’s $249. That’s a heck of a difference. They directed me to a free version, but it seems to be lacking quite a bit off of the paid version, so Resharper it is for me.

OK, I have read many comments on this page — but I’m not sold! I don’t like these “Productivity” tools… At the end of the day, you’re the one that codes… If you like tools to do your coding, then I think you probably just need to “Talk” to your IDE and make it produce your code… (When they produce a language — may 6th to 10th generation language, that understands the human mind – you will probably be a great code hero.) Why be a developer if you rely on everyone else’s ideas anyway, comments and everybody else’s in-the-box solutions???

I don’t like Re-sharper… not from day one… I don’t really care for anything else either. Any tool that’s got to get in your way, to point out that var typing is better than actually placing an actual type is silly! I want to read my code — not inspect it! If I have to go to school to learn some one else’s nightmare — then count me out!!!

Here are some more points to consider when comparing these two – http://www.tewari.info/2009/02/21/resharper-vs-coderush-refactor-pro/

Never used Code Rush, have heard good thigns, but I have to give it up for ReSharper since I use it and love it. Full disclosure: I read blogs sometimes.

Coderush for VS2010 is soooo buggy. used the trial and got so frustrated I actually logged a bug. Apparently its fixed (when it will appear is anyones guess) but made it more of a hindrance than a help.

I think they rushed it out which is a shame because is had promise.

Resharper is more stable and a more polished release

@Tim Long

Hi Tim –

All MVPs are entitled to complimentary copies of CodeRush too, we don’t hold back Naturally, everyone should be free to pick their preferred tool based on usability though. I think both DevExpress and JetBrains agree that as long as developers are using some kind of tooling to help them write code then that is what matters most.

Any MVPs out there wanting to try CodeRush can drop me a note: rachel h at devexpress dot com.
