ReSharper reinvents intellisense expanding its capabilities as well as improving the built-in features.
Impressions
ReSharper makes development faster with a plethora of features that make developers giggle. It is a developer’s butler anticipating every need and patiently waiting until the master notices. The on-the-fly error detection points out errors and warnings without any compilation. Once it detects that a namespace is not imported it offers a key combination that adds it automatically. Even before I compile I see a comprehensive list of warnings, suggestions and hints that appear right where the problem is so the text is always to the point.
And there are the little things like duplicating the selected code. Instead of CTRL+C, CTRL+V I type CTRL+D and it is all done. I simply love these little additions that a few milliseconds every time I use them.
Once you are done turn on the automatic code cleanup to remove all the declarations you didn’t use.
The feature list is simply overwhelming and posting it all here is not the point; you can find the entire list here:

VB.NET developers will be pleased to find out that they were not forgotten although some key features are only available for C# developers.
Price
$199 for a single developer license.
Conclusion
If you develop in C# then this is a must have, 5 stars!
