ReSharper vs. Progress Telerik Fiddler

ReSharper is suitable for all legacy and new projects. It helps keep the code clean, short and understandable. The color codes help you quickly identify what you are looking for, and the shortcuts are the best. While Visual Studio made progress on these points on its own, it seems to me that ReSharper has a lot to offer. Today it happens to me that I can't think of another productivity tool without thinking of ReSharper first.

I am a senior software engineer and I have actively made fiddler a requirement for all of our engineers to have on their laptops by default. I have recommended it to all web developers that I have worked with and contractors that I have worked with as it has saved my mental stability on numerous occasions when trying to show people details of various web requests when working on integrations between different systems This is an absolutely fantastic product that I have used in a technical capacity many, many times and I will always suggest it as a tool when someone is debugging specifically but also for initial development to see how the requests are formed and for sharing responses and requests details so that others can recreate the request that you have sent through right down to the smallest detail

• Code Refactoring.
• Linting
• Code Coverage.
• Code Tracing.
• Disassembly and Inspection.

• Sometimes colleagues report degraded performance
• Sometimes Visual Studio needs to be restarted because the code becomes out of sync with what ReSharper thinks it should be

• The display could potentially become a bit more user-friendly over time, it's pretty easy to follow but for example, I always view the raw request/response information by default and this is not the default selection, being able to choose the default selection would be nice
• Clearer information and options to reduce 'noise' when viewing the requests, there are often a lot of background requests being sent on a computer, you can filter to roughly see what you want and filter out things that you don't want but there are different types of requests and I can't see how to filter between those - possibly a feature but could be made easier to use potentially
• Nothing else to put, this is a fantastic product so there isn't much else to suggest at this stage of using it and I have been using fiddler for years now in my role as a software engineer

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!

• Production releases on time
• It saves developer time and budget

• Overall this tool has sped up the process of integrating with new systems infinitely
• The cost of fiddler everywhere which is what we use specifically is nothing in comparison to the cost of dev time saved when debugging processes
• Being able to send information around so simply to other support teams to show them what responses we are getting along with the request detail have made communications much quicker and saves a lot of time going back and forth discussing what is being done and what the request is being sent
