Why should I switch to CodeRush from ReSharper? [closed]

Question

For a long time I have been working with ReSharper.

But after seeing CodeRush being used in a tutorial video, I started to wonder if I should consider to try CodeRush as well.

But before giving a try I wanted to ask you if you've had a chance to work both with ReSharper and CodeRush, so that you could share your objective opinions on their advantages and disadvantages over each other.

@Justin: Thanks for stressing the keyword 'objective.' I think that is quite important. – Refugio

Curious, if I may ask, what video was that? – Lissner

@Hadi Hariri: NHibernate tutorials.'Summer of NHibernate Screencast Series' – Refugio

@burak, you are welcome. I say CodeRush used in those tutorials too. It looked really powerful and handy. – Coyotillo

Cool. Thanks. I was mostly curious because the same can be accomplished with ReSharper so wondering how we could make that more obivous. – Lissner

I know you have stated that you are a long time user of ReSharper but are you using it to its full potential? As a long time user of ReSharper myself I know I find a new feature from time to time I wasn't aware of. see jetbrains.com/resharper/features/index.html – Gratis

Answer 1

Download a demo of CR and give it a shot.

If you've already spent good money on RS, think about the ROI and the (possible) learning curve for CR, although the learning curve should be sorted out during the evaluation :-). The company where I am is using the Developer Express suite of products (which include CR) and I am loving it. I find it very productive and useful.

Disclaimer: I am a DevExpress "fanboi."

Equiprobable

I would add that this learning curve can be significantly reduced through the use of this CodeRush plugin -> code.google.com/p/dxcorecommunityplugins/wiki/… – Cordula
