For a long time I have been working with ReSharper.

But after seeing CodeRush being used in a tutorial video, I started to wonder if I should consider to try CodeRush as well.

But before giving a try I wanted to ask you if you've had a chance to work both with ReSharper and CodeRush, so that you could share your objective opinions on their advantages and disadvantages over each other.

    @Justin: Thanks for stressing the keyword 'objective.' I think that is quite important. – pencilCake Aug 03 '10 at 14:22
  • Curious, if I may ask, what video was that? – Hadi Hariri Aug 03 '10 at 14:30

  • @burak, you are welcome. I say CodeRush used in those tutorials too. It looked really powerful and handy. – jjnguy Aug 03 '10 at 14:39
  • Cool. Thanks. I was mostly curious because the same can be accomplished with ReSharper so wondering how we could make that more obivous. – Hadi Hariri Aug 03 '10 at 17:05
  • I know you have stated that you are a long time user of ReSharper but are you using it to its full potential? As a long time user of ReSharper myself I know I find a new feature from time to time I wasn't aware of. see http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/index.html – Damien McGivern Aug 03 '10 at 21:05

Download a demo of CR and give it a shot.

If you've already spent good money on RS, think about the ROI and the (possible) learning curve for CR, although the learning curve should be sorted out during the evaluation :-). The company where I am is using the Developer Express suite of products (which include CR) and I am loving it. I find it very productive and useful.

    I would add that this learning curve can be significantly reduced through the use of this CodeRush plugin -> http://code.google.com/p/dxcorecommunityplugins/wiki/CR_ReSharperCompatibility – Rory Becker Aug 04 '10 at 08:00
