Resharper or CodeRush

I decided that I should use a productivity enhancement tool, which one do you recommend?
Neither! I have been disappoibnted with both. They slow down VS to such an extent that they turn into productivity de-enchancement tool.
This has been discussed, again and again and again and always we (the denizens of the CP lounge) have come to the conclusion that their method of rating is pure, untouched, unadulterated, genuine, verifiable, refined trash. MIM on TIOBE

I only find a slow-down on my laptop, 1.6GHz Celeron with 1.25 GB ram, and Vista. My 2.4 dual core desktop with 2GB ram is almost too comfortable using 2008, but a leaves a little to be desired with 2005.

For large projects the amount of parsing, reflection, etc. they do tends to bog things down after a while.

Yes, as it is, my judgement is based on using 2005 for a solution with a 12k count of files.

I don't know about CodeRush but I use Refactor! Pro and find it OK. I've used ReSharper briefly in the past and it was fine too. But I prefer the CodeRush/Refactor UI paradigm. Have you seen the CodeRush/Refactor screencasts? http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/IDETools/CodeRush/Training.xml[^]

I've used Refactor!Pro for a long time. It doesn't get too involved with your environment. ReSharper thinks it knows better than you on how to develop, and it has bogged down my VS2005 to a screeching halt before. It has helped me out before, but it also slows down the dev environment tremendously.

Well, with CodeRush, you can compete with models that don't know how to code[^].

I too use Refactor! Pro. I've only used Resharper briefly about 3 years ago. Would you say Refactor! is more performant? The recent preliminary support for JavaScript is handy (I'm in intensive JavaScript mode at the moment). Plus the code metrics tool now handles JavaScript and C++. :)

I would say that ReSharper is running pretty much the entire time you have VS open, examining your code and seeing what you can do better. When coding, it's analyzing everything you type, looking for ways to make it better. Helpful? Yes. Resource Hog? Yes. You know, as if VS wasn't a resource hog already. I mainly use Refactor! Pro to manage my variables, make properties, optimize using statements, convert "..." + "..." to string.format(), etc. It stays out of the way, unless you tell it to get involved. Choose wisely.

That's a nice one. I use it all the time. I actually started off using the free Refactor! for VB as I had a VB refactoring project to do. Then I got hooked and bought the full version. At the time Resharper only did C# and I figured it would be more useful to have multi-language support. I mainly do C# but as a contractor I never know when I may be called on to work in any of the languages.
