VS10x Code Map v3

by gordonml | September 30 2011

A reasonably useful tool which makes it easy to navigate my code. I'm just a (poor) student right now so I don't have the money to buy a license, so for that reason I'll be uninstalling it. You have every right to charge for a tool which you have spent over a year developing. I'd be inclined to agree however that the license is a little costly for the functionality, but people must be paying it or you'd lower it. Thanks for the good times anyway ;) (Rating reflects value for money)

Liked some features but it is too slow and I ended up using alternative extension.
Another thing I don't like is that it is in a margin of a file editor so it doesn't work well on two screens setup.

Great product. I discoved an issue with the side panel performance and they had it fixed in less than 24 hours. One of my favorite extensions for Visual Studio.

The product is ok and some features are nice.
However, I don't think these features (there aren't many of them) are worth the money and the way business is handled by AxTools leaves much to ask for.

Product at current price gets 2 stars from me (would be 4 if it was free and 1 star if I was rating the way community has been tricked by author).

Since the discussion boards has been disabled (you can't shush the internet Michael) I'll post alternatives here so people get the full picture:

1. JS Parser (free)
2. VSCommands 2010 with File Structure (free)
3. DPack with Code Browser (free)
4. Resharper with File Structure (paid)
5. Visual Assist X with VA Outline (paid)

Good product, but the price is not equal to what it can do.

Still have the free beta, and will be using this.

Unlike others, I am not giving you 1 star because you decided to charge for the product. That happens, and you're free to do so.

I'm giving you 1 star for how you handled it. You changed the license quietly, and without warning. You got angry at people who felt like you were dishonest with them. You charged an ungodly price for a feature that is quite minor. You then proceeded to write the same comment to every person that downvoted you, regardless of what they might have actually said.

In other words, your customer service is terrible, and you seem unable to understand how your actions might have made things worse. Regardless of the quality of the product, i can't in good conscious give a good rating for such poor customer service. Plus I think it's too expensive for what you are offering. Resharper costs $150 (and does everything this does) and does 100x more. Do you really think your product provides 1/4th of the value of Resharper? No way.

If you simply respond with another copy and paste, then you'll have proven my point.

Strange way to evaluate "customer service". You should ask people who experienced problems and contacted us, see what they have to say. Those are our customers, and we value each of them. Also, *prospective customer* service is available to those that appreciate our work and efforts.

As for expensiveness, there's a lot of people who disagree with you as well. But, each with his own - please go with other tools you like better.

A great tool at a great price.
The price of the license is worth every penny given the time it saves me in code management. I really don't understand people who want to complain about paying programmer for time spent developing a very useful tool. If one does not want to pay programmers for time spent programming useful products, then they are always free to spend time developing their own tools.

To the programmers, I wish you continued success and may you reap financial rewards for work done most excellent.

I've only been using this for the last few days, and really found it useful to flick quickly between my different methods of a class etc. the updated version today is ace, the drag & drop sorting is really useful for grouping methods together.

Keep up the good work, and yes I'll be registering at the end of the month when my TRIAL runs out. 40$ is peanuts for an excellent project.

Update: Just to let you know that this is an excellent extension as well as the editor view enhancer - I have now registered BOTH extensions! - Michael: Keep up the good work!
