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
JetBrains
  • 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.

Sonar
  • SonarLint highlights all the issues in our codes and also displays the severity of each issue.
  • SonarLint also provides suggestions for how to fix those code issues which are highlighted.
  • SonarLint starts the processing of the file as soon as it is opened and highlights all the issues which it found.
  • When we fix the issue, we don't even need to create a new build or generate fresh code quality report, as soon as we save the file with the changes, it does the processing again and shows the result if the issue is fixed or not.
  • SonarLint saves a lot of time and effort by saving us from doing fresh build every time and generating new code quality report every time, thus increasing the efficiency and output which is in return beneficial for the client.

Sonar
  • Sometimes, SonarLint does not highlight the issues in the code correctly.
  • The severity of the issues highlighted is according to the default rules set, we should also be given authority to set the severity of the issues.
  • The default fixes which SonarLint provides should be more enhanced and there should be more fixes available.
  • Sometimes it takes a lot of time for processing of the file when any new file is loaded or changes are saved in a file.

Usability
JetBrains
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?

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!

  • 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.

  • SonarLint helps in maintaining code quality, and thus also highlights the loopholes for the cyber attacks and phishing attacks.
