What it is

ReSharper is a productivity extension for Microsoft Visual Studio that provides intelligent code assistance for C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, and more. It helps developers write better code faster with its powerful refactoring tools and code analysis capabilities.

ReSharper stands out by offering a comprehensive suite of tools specifically tailored to enhance productivity and code quality in .NET projects within the Visual Studio environment.

When it fits — and when it doesn’t

A good fit for

  • Teams developing large-scale .NET applications who need comprehensive code analysis and refactoring support.

  • Individual developers looking to improve their productivity in Visual Studio through intelligent code assistance.

Look elsewhere if

  • Projects that require extensive support for non-.NET languages, as ReSharper's primary focus is on .NET ecosystems.

  • Teams working exclusively with cloud-based development environments, as it primarily integrates into local installations of Visual Studio.

Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

  1. 01

    Steep learning curve for new users

    ReSharper offers a wide range of features that can be overwhelming for beginners, requiring significant time to master.

  2. 02

    Expensive at scale

    Commercial license costs can become prohibitive for large teams or enterprises with many developers.

  3. 03

    Limited support for non-.NET languages

    While ReSharper supports multiple languages, its primary focus is on .NET technologies, which may limit its usefulness in polyglot environments.

  4. 04

    Complex setup and configuration

    Configuring ReSharper to work optimally with specific projects or coding standards can be a time-consuming process.

What it does well

  • Code analysis and quick-fixes

  • Refactoring tools

  • Code generation

  • Navigation and search

  • Unit testing support
