CoPilot vs. ReSharper

I used it recently to go over a syllabus. It caught errors in grading where there were overlaps in the grading scale. It also caught a section that was deemed to be problematic as it could have created a conflict in grading based on the subjectiveness of the score and how it was determined

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).

• Examines a syllabus for errors or contradictions in grading
• It works as a great starting point for doing research
• We use it to aid in developing classroom instruction

• 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.

• I would like to see better image creation tools
• More tools in creating custom GPTs
• Easier tools to limit and create the data used for the LLM

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?

The primary reason is the integration into Office 360. Having the AI tool built into all of the office apps was a game changer in my opinion. Being able to use it in Word to help rewrite a sentence or look up a reference. In Excel, I have used to to build formulas or write simple code.

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!

• It is too early to tell at the moment but I can see it as a positive moving forward
• The amount of time saved in creating content will be a huge asset for faculty
• The same holds true for students as they to will be able to safe a lot of time

• 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.
