If you're running VS2012 and miss the VS2010 icons, then this is the package for you. As for the IDE enhancements, I found that they took a little getting used, but many features can be disabled, or configured to operate in "Visual Studio Mode". If you're a meticulous worker, then this package will keep you on your toes.
It made visual studio so slow it was almost unuseable. Also, it is clearly not developed for vb.net as the intellisense often gives the incorrect result when this is installed as it is too slow to pick the word in the list when ctrl+space is pressed.
Then when I tried to leave feedback on the ReSharper website I got the following:
type Exception report
message

Matt, sorry to hear that. I would appreciate if you answer a couple of questions in order to find out what went wrong: 1. Did you install the current official version (7.1.3 at this time), or a pre-release 8.0 build? 2. What was the URL of the web page that returned the exception message? Did you use the regular ReSharper support form (http://www.jetbrains.com/support/support.jsp?pr=ReSharper) to leave feedback? 3. Do you have any other plug-ins installed (this could hinder performance, among other reasons.) 4. Would you be interested in profiling Visual Studio with ReSharper installed in order to find out why it's being slow? Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Awesome .. one of those can't live-without-it tools .. just saves so much time. Who wants to refactor or rename with a simple string search and break half your code .. no-one. ReSharper has a dozen different refactoring tools, intelligently rename variables, properties, methods alter signatures of methods. Got a method getting too large - easy, with ReSharper to extract the code out, automatically creating a new method with the appropriate calls.
Handy test runner, was a little slowish, now faster than before. Works well with StyleCop, customisable templates and rules.
Works inside WPF/XAML, has quick find tools to do intelligent searches. If you are doing green fields work, it'll help keep your code clean. If you are doing debugging or brown fields/cleanup you'll find ReSharper invaluable.
Update: I received multiple follow-ups from the JetBrains team since my original comment was posted. I collected and submitted a number of perf snapshots and the team is looking into performance issues. I thought it would be unfair to retain my original comment on this site as JetBrains clearly demonstrated a good faith and intent to address our challenges.
Have you thought about extended UML support? Something like in InteliJ - Live edit on classes etc. VS has its own code generation, but it sucks all over the place and if you will change something in uml it will simply override your code changes on generation started.
The closest thing we have right now is Architecture Explorer and Dependency Graph support in VS2012 Ultimate (http://blogs.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2012/07/how-exactly-resharper-7-supports-visual-studio-2012/)
There are no further plans as far as I'm aware. Interesting point to think about though, thank you )

Any plans to make a standalone version of R# or one that integrates with Visual Studio Express. (Express does support extensions through the "Extension Manager" but perhaps not via third party installers. There is an "Online Gallery" in the Extension Manager which I believe is maintained by Microsoft.)
Thanks for your question!
Unfortunately, no such plans as yet.
As you correctly guess, we can't install into Express, only into Professional or higher.
Standalone IDE is not on our agenda right now as well.

Great product, only marked down for the price and the pestering after expiry.
Response by JetBrains Sat 6:19 PM - Thanks for your feedback. What do you mean when you say "pestering" though?
Hi JetBrains, thought had to start a discussion because there was no other option to respond to your question, I dodn't see any function to reply to a response.
I really do love all the work you put into your cooltool, a must-have for any enterprise. My impressions are several years old so correct me if I'm wrong.
What I meant is that once it expired, it popped up pestering messages every time I opened a project, and there was no simple uninstall button there and then - just close, and go uninstall manually, when I next had time. It added valuable pain and extra clicks to opening projects.
I presume you're going to tell me that's not the case any more?
Regards,
Pedro
Hi Pedro,
Switching to the discussion format was the best option as VSG provides very weird support for discussions under Reviews.
Thanks for describing exactly what kind of behavior you were not happy with.
I would love to say that it's not the case any more but unfortunately it is. If ReSharper evaluation has expired and it doesn't see a valid license key, its License Information dialog does pop up on every Visual Studio launch. We have enabled functionality to suspend ReSharper through Tools > Options but there's no quick uninstall button right now. We do have a prototype of a new license dialog but it's not implemented just yet. We're hoping to be able to make improvements in this area for the next release later this year.
I would propose to allow users to select - what features to install with ReSharper.
Let say - I would do not install Unit Testing features from Jet Brains
Are you going to allow features selection during installation?
Thank you !
Hi Dmitry,
We haven't previously received requests similar to yours.
We will consider introducing this functionality in future versions but in any case, this is not something that you should expect in near term.
It would be great if you create a feature request in ReSharper issue tracker at http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/RSRP so that we could have it on our radar while you and other users were able to track its progress and vote for it. Thank you!
Hi guys!
I'm using VS 2008 C# and Resharper together
I'm facing the follow problem:
I've changed to other color scheme on my VSTS IDE. Some colors changed but not whole.
Every file that i've apllied changes some colors but just the name of the classes remain blue.
What could I do to solve this problem?
I've tried find something in Tools > Options > Font and colors but the option related to classes is not setted blue but the real color that must appear.
Everytime I disable Resharper 5.0, the colors are aplllied succefully!
Thanks in advance,
Anderson
Try going into in R# Options... under Code Inspection -> Settings make sure "Color identifiers" is unchecked. Maybe that won't turn out to be what you mean, but it's worth a shot.
