At home I use macOS primarily and I'm trying to ramp up on .NET Core for a few personal projects and I'm having a tough time trying to find a suitable dev environment that provides me with the same speed/comfort that I get on a Windows machine and so far it's tough. Project Rider on macOS is coming along nicely but that still leaves no LINQPad which is super handy for working on small bits of code with near instant results. The feedback loop is so short when using Linqpad it's insane.
I also don't get the point of resharper. Apart from being slow as molasses, it's ridiculously over opinionated to the point where is makes existing code a mess of squiggles. And it's intellisense is super dumb as it redlines while you're still typing, which is very distracting.
The only great part of it, the quick find, is now in vs 2015. Ctrl-,. I think it literally just came in with the last patch.
VS2015 has made up a lot of ground for what R# lacked but the static analysis still isn't there. You have to learn what errors/notes mean and how to interpret the results because they are very meaningful. Point blank - writing code with Resharper will lead to higher quality code.
And yeah, some part of my Resharper love is just an old habit. I've been using R# since VS2005 when the IDE lacked a lot of critical features that R# plugged. Now a lot of it is just habits and keyboard shortcuts and it's only a few hundred dollars for a license which still pays for itself throughout the course of the year.
It's nice when it picks up some stupidity like an always false condition, but the out-of-the-box instance has so many stupid rules that after turning more and more off it off, I gave up on it.
And this isn't the first time I've given it a go.
