What I was trying to say with that is that I too can write quality code using notepad but I wouldn't dare... I'd admit that you might lose some productivity while getting R# up and running and learning how to use it effectively but after that chances are that you will be much more productive. R# lets me focus on the code and gets all the noise out of my way. It brings to the table what the java community has been used to for a much longer time. I don't want to spend time formatting code, ordering members, finding implementations of a interface method, waiting for VS to find a symbol for me, writing boilerplate code like .Equals()/.GetHashcode(), do a lot of refactoring manually, creating NUnit tests etc. etc. Because I don't have to do a lot of things that you do, I can write code faster than you.

Yes but you are slower than me.

ReSharper has two "disadvantages", it takes a while until you a) configured everything so that resharper does it YOUR way b) you learn to utilize all the neat features in your day to day job (there are just too many). But after that - man I tell you, you just can't understand how you could have lived without it. The quality and readability of our code has improved very much an I am a LOT faster analyzing, refactoring and writing code. You can't just look at the featuresheet. You actually have to try it and you must be ready to actually play with it.

Did you find the solution to this? We have the same problem here.
