    I would recommend [Adobe AIR] because it works very well, I just wish there were more resources out there on it to help the onboarding.

    Well suited: for interfaces between machines data and applications. Made as a service. For web applications in factories where you don't have access to thick clients due to the environment. not well suited: quick measurements and fast data transitions between different applications. When time dependency is needed, then you better can choose other solutions.

    ReSharper is the best all-in-one tool for Visual Studio that I have encountered. It contains many features not found in Visual Studio Enterprise, and those features already in Visual Studio provide much better implementations. I would recommend this to all developers, with the only people who will find it a detriment are developers running older, slower machines (due to ReSharper's resource requirements).

    Pros
    Adobe
    • Adobe AIR supports a lot of commonly needed features for mobile app development.
    • It is fairly stable and consistent once you learn how to use it.
    • It is cross-platform and is supported by some useful third-party plugins.

    • It has a great documentation so new or experienced, you appreciate quick access to quality information
    • It’s very fast, uses less memory than initially expected that has decreased our costs after moving from python
    • It speaks the language of the design patterns really well, so our backend apps are written fast together and connect to frontend systems flawlessly

    • Shortcuts are awesome. Navigation through the code gets really easy.
    • I use it every day: go to the last modified position, go to the next error, find usages. All refactoring shortcuts!
    • Color identifiers let me identify variables from constants, methods, properties, and types. I use this feature and I can not live without it.
    • Move code by scope is handy.
    • Adding missing references automatically.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • Over the course of months/years, various security exploits and other issues are discovered and patched in AIR, often requiring you to rebuild and resubmit mobile apps to the various storefronts. This happens often enough that it's worth mentioning as a major con.
    • While development on Adobe AIR seems to be fairly constant, there is very little communication between the community and Adobe regarding the future and general support of AIR. The track record of Flash (and particularly Flash Mobile) does not inspire much confidence that Adobe intends to support Flash/AIR for years to come.
    • Adobe AIR does not seem to perform as well (in terms of raw performance, memory usage, framerates, responsiveness, etc.) as other hybrid solutions for certain tasks. For example using shaders tends to be experimental still, and graphic/animation intensive projects often require the use of third party frameworks such as Starling.

    • Net is just like plug and play, we have to focus on a logic of code rest part can be handled by ASP. Net framework.
    • It's a best for only web development.
    • One downside with ASP.NET is its reliance on the .NET framework.

    Usability
    Adobe
    Although Adobe AIR is just an SDK without an actual "UI" it's commonly used within Flash, Flash Builder, or FlashDevelop. Considering the integration with Flash IDE, there are very few tools that can compete with its features.

    ReSharper is very familiar if you already know Visual Studio. JetBrains does have an excellent IDE (Rider); however, since ReSharper is an extension to Visual Studio, you only need to learn what their tools add, not a whole new way of working. I have found the extension's interface to be straightforward, although perhaps due to the massive range of features, navigating the menus is a little time-consuming until your muscle memory kicks in. Maybe a feature search tool would help make usability a 10 out of 10?

    Originally, Adobe AIR was the only game in town, and its blend of flexibility in platforms it could publish to (PC, Mac, iOS, Android), ease of use, and familiarity made it the clear choice. Now Adobe no longer supports it, and we’ve found the transition to Harmon unworkable for us.

    We choose ASP.NET because our core business is working with the SAP HANA database using SAP Business One. We can develop state-of-the-art applications with Razor and Visual Studio 2022 fast and with excellent application performance response. Working SAP Hana with JAVA could be more challenging because it has fewer developers communities, and it could be harder to find a solution for a question.

    ReSharper does what it does very well because it operates inside the IDE you are already using. It provides advanced features that function far above and beyond what Visual Studio Professional offers and does not require you to learn another IDE like JetBrain's excellent IDE Rider. My only wish is that ReSharper had a Visual Studio Code plugin!

    Return on Investment
    Adobe
    • Allows easy porting of functionality and look and feel to many diverse platforms.
    • Shorten development and deployment time.
    • Reduced training and support costs by re-using common widgets.

    • We realized positive returns due to interns and new employees already having experience due to the free academic versions available.
    • Being able to evaluate the express version prior to purchase was helpful.
    • Performance is adequate, but not as responsive as C++. I guess the trade-off is ease of use and being able to find qualified personnel.

    • ReSharper is our go-to tool for file formatting. All of our code process must be formatted correctly, and ReSharper makes that an easy to access keyboard shortcut.
