ReSharper vs. JetBrains Rider

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).

Initially you may think it’s not worth paying and that there are better free options, which is definitely a lie we once tried to live with. It has everything you may ever need in .NET world, code analysis and debugging works super well and all the SQL/noSQL related integrations are just next level compared to the competition. It’s worth every penny.

• 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.

• Provides a smooth, efficient IDE for developing .NET applications. Performance has been much better than Visual Studio in my experience.
• Integrated refactoring tools are really comprehensive and useful.
• Integrates with other JetBrains products such as TeamCity, Upsource, dotTrace, etc.

• Sometimes it gives suggestion that are not suitable for code that you wrote

• Startup time. It takes a while to index big projects.
• Rarely it loses the intellisense and the only way to get it back is by restarting.
• Memory usage for big projects

Due to the performance and productivity benefits we get with Rider, we will continue to use it for the foreseeable future.

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?

Rider is a great IDE with extensive C# refactoring support and .NET-specific knowledge. This is great for building .NET applications but for our purposes, the Unity specific suggestions are really helpful.

JetBrains Rider is great as an editing and debugging environment. It reliably connects to the Unity editor and allows debugging, which some IDEs are not as reliable at doing.

The support forums and knowledge base are extensive and the JetBrains support staff respond quickly to new posts and help resolve issues. There is also a publicly accessible issue tracking system, which allows you to stay on top of any bug fixes or enhancement requests.

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!

Rider is hands down smoother and way less glitchy than Visual Studio Enterprise. There are way more refactoring capabilities and spell check so that your code is readable, maintainable, and easy to follow. Since Rider is cross-platform, our developers are no longer constrained to only using Windows. We can now get a familiar development environment across Mac, Windows, or Linux!

• 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.

• Built in Resharper into the license fee, great, you likely want it
• Demands less resources from computer so needing a beefy work computer might not be the case, save money on equipment.
