I'm still one of those freaks that insists on having ReSharper around to code with. When I go to a client, I ask (politely) that they get it for all of their developers. When I talk at a user group I tell the attendees (not so politely) to get it.
But the one question comes up all the time: is it really worth it. Then someone else will state how they don't even use the features that are built into Visual Studio as is.
You need ReSharper. (note: if you are a CodeRush/Refactor user...carry on, it is also a fine tool)
Anyway, JetBrains just published a comparison matrix between ReSharper and naked Visual Studio. For me, the value is in these areas: Navigation, Coding Assistance, and Unit Testing. Everything aside from those is just gravy. (personal TODO: record a coding session using Camtasia)
For myself though, that isn't the comparison I want to see. I want to see a comparison between ReSharper and CodeRush (I'd do it, but I don't have the time). This is a comparison where I expect no clear winner, but I know these tools differ quite a bit.
