Hi Elijah! I use Code Rush free right now and can't say enough good things about it (I've happily used R# in the past, but the kind of iron to run it acceptably is huge). Appreciate the opportunity! @jslicer on Twitter.

@blackmael is throwing my hat in the ring too! At least I would be throwing a hat if I had one. Will a cap do? I have a spare cap. Or maybe a beanie? I have a beanie floating around here somewhere. Maybe I could make a pirates hat by folding up a bit of newspaper and throw that in? Perhaps I could just say "Count me in too!" and not worry about having a hat?

CodeRush is awesome plugin for Visual Studio!

Shawn Mehaffie

11/11/2009 7:15:26 PM #

@smehaffie: I've used both Resharper and CodeRush w/ Refactor Pro. IMO the one thing that makes CodeRush stand-out over Resharper is the ability to extend it. So if it does not do something you want, you can extend it to implement the new functionality (although I have never used it, the fact that I can if needed is very cool).

The one advantage Resharper has is the ability to run Unit Test within VS for all the major Unit Test frameworks (NUnit, MBUnit, etc). Once CodeRush releases their Test Runner for CodeRush I see no reason to not go with CodeRush w/ Refactor Pro. Based on blog postings I have seen the release of the test runner should not be to far away.

Shawn Mehaffie

11/11/2009 7:20:06 PM #

@smehaffie: Might as well let you know, the day you are announcing the winner will be my birthday (11/12). A "CodeRush w/ Refactor Pro" license would be a really cool present

.

I'm a big Dave Ramsey fan, so buying it just does not fit in our budget at this time. For all of you who are Dave Ramsey listeners, you know what I mean.
