Visual Assist X from Whole Tomato Software

  • Article

People send me mail that asks "What about Visual Assist X?".  This blog gets comments like "Tool X is nothing compared to the Whole Tomato stuff".  In chats I've seen "Why don't you guys just buy the Whole Tomato stuff and ship it in the box?".  I'll admit, they do some great work through our extensibility interfaces and giving them props in this blog was long overdue.  So, if you haven't already, you should check out the free trial of Visual Assist X from Whole Tomato Software. 

Some of this stuff (better code coloring, code templates, etc) you'll see in Whidbey, but there is a bunch of other stuff in there as well that we just aren't doing like the "hovering class browser", spell checking, automatic case correction, etc. Good times! Josh
