DEAD: (we survived) JetBrains 75% off end of the world sale (ReSharper for $50 or $37, PhpStorm, IntelliJ IDEA, dotTrace, RubyMine and other developer tools!)

Quote from Evan55 : somebody sell me on resharper.....I just dont see the benefit. im an asp.net (mvc) and c# developer

Microsoft makes visual studio so good because it makes us as developers more productive. Resharper takes that to a whole new level.

Between the navigation features (go to implementation, go to file, go to method) the refactoring ability (extract variable, extract method, change iteration to linq) and doing those things in such a way that you know is safe and will work without having copy pasta errors, I would say I have gained at LEAST on average 30 minutes a day of productivity.

Is an extra 30 minutes a day of productivity worth 50 bucks to you? I would hope so.

Also, intellij is the only Java ide that I find is even remotely close to visual studio. Eclipse sucks the big fat one and net beans or whatever is just not good.

I own resharper 5, will probably purchase this and intellij.

EDIT: I completely forgot about the auto import feature. If you start typing a type for a variable and you don't have the import, it will suggest an import for you from the system Assemblies or the projects referenced By your project. Just another neat simple thing that saves 10 seconds of your day. Add that up in a large project and you're looking at a savings of maybe 5 minutes FROM THAT FEATURE ALONE. I seriously cannot stress enough about how good their stuff is for .net devs and they bring some of that love to Java devs with intellij. Even intellij has some of resharpers fucntionality.
