      Funny, I’ve just started using it in the last few days. It’s very useful detecting small things like unused variables and code, nesting issues etc. It also has very advanced refactoring tools so it’s easy to move things around with breaking anything.

      Do you have any suggestion for a good Visual Studio svn plugin? I was using Ankh but it nearly lost me a weeks worth of code when it got confused by me moving some files around, had to recover from a bunch of temp files.

      VisualSVN worth it…. There are other Tortoise integrations worth trying.

      I find it most annoying and difficult now to program without Visual Assist, not sure how I ever did without it! Have only been using it for a year but it is so good.

      I might get my boss to dip into his budget so I can get some of these ;) On a slightly related note, anyone here done any Windows Mobile development with Visual Studio? I’m using VS2005 and it’s very unstable when debugging remote apps, I’m wondering whether it’d be worth for me to upgrade to 2008.

      Well worth the upgrade.
      Also VS2010 is worth looking at.
      Windows Mobile is going to go through some significant changes this year too. :D

      The problem is there’s been no confirmed Windows Mobile support for VS2010, and the beta has none either. I’d be a lot happier if they let you buy 2k8 now and provide free upgrade to 2k10 as it’s so close to release.

      Make sure you get the hotfixes. I upgrade to vs2008 recently at work and i gotta say it was super unstable. Crashing on break points, losing break points, random shut down and various other problems. Most of which were fixed by the hot fixes. So get them ;)

      Used to be a visual studio + visual assist person, but a stint working remotely on linux cell processor based machines has caused me to rethink my IDE. I now use Visual Slick Edit since it’s the grand daddy of all things visual assist (autocompetion / refactoring etc) and editing wise (vim / visual studio / emacs emulation), is very extensible and the clincher for me, supports remote editing via ssh. I don’t use visual debuggers any more though, which I sort of miss.
