I simply disagree about higher quality code. One of my junior colleagues once did a "let's apply a bunch of resharper recommendations". It was not pretty. Its suggestions are almost always pedantic and puerile that don't improve code quality in any meaningful way, at least in the out-of-the-box config.

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.
