MSDN Flash Poll #7 – Visual Studio Add-Ins

MSDN Flash Poll #7 – Visual Studio Add-Ins

  • Comments 20

This time around we want to know about your favourite / most used Visual Studio add-in. I can’t include them all so if your favourite isn’t here, be sure to add a comment to this post to let the world know. Otherwise, Visual Studio extensions, prepare to do battle…

  • ReSharper tries my patience often with its instability, but overall I can't live without it.

  • When you tried Resharper, there is NO WAY BACK. Can't use VS without it.

    can you make poll to accept more than 1 answers? )

    I've been using along side with Resharper:

    Productivity Power Tools

    PowerCommands for VS2010

    Subversion

  • I wouldn't see subversion as a visual studio Add in to be honest, unless there is an Add in to VS that only does Svn

    There are many tools that work well together, I would allow multiple selection , maybe thats just me

  • The result (as stands) is, at the same time, both astonishing and not unsurprising.

    @Andrea VisualSVN is a Visual Studio plugin for Subversion integration.

  • My vote goes to ViEmu

  • Can hardly call "Subversion" a VS addin. Should be VisualSVN and/or AnkhSVN (are there others?)

  • Resharper didn't last 5 minutes on my box as it slowed everything down noticeably.

  • CodeRush is the best thing I ever saw!

  • BTW, I don't see JustCode and Visual Assist.

  • Definitely Coderush.

    It's really an excellent product and I can't imagine myself coding without it. Used to be a bit slow but that's ancient history.

  • I primarily use Visual Assist.  I have had a subscription since Visual Studio 5 for it.  It and the Productivity Tools meet all my needs.

  • This voting system is cookie based. Clearing cookie lets you vote again. One item just voted up ~+200 in 15 minutes. I think results cannot be trusted any more.

  • I use CodeRush a lot in my daily coding. Very powerful addin for Visual Studio.

    I love templates, and new Unit Test Runner it makes me more productive every day.

  • Ilya, I assume that could be due to the broadcast message sent via Twitter or something from the developing company of an add-in. And, of course, those customers, are real fans of the product trust and love that add-in. Probably, that's why it got so much votes.

  • @Skorkin, when customers form a wave in voting, it doesn't happen like this, 1 vote every 1-2 seconds. Also, there were no visible message on twitter, blog or otherwise. And it doesn't stop at 217 like it did instantly. With no more votes in next 30 minutes.
