Greg,
It is all good now; I shared your annoyances and had reinstalled several times over the years. I am using 4.5 now and it is great. Alt-Enter for fixing things is great. (suggests a fix to a compile issue for instance) Go and get the 5.0 beta and try for 30 days. I find it stable and it does not lag your typing like it used to.

At the time I wished for some kind of "ReSharper Lite". Over the Silverlight Code Camp weekend I saw a few people using the latest version, and it seems to be much more pleasant experience with lots of nifty new features. I also hear people making passing comments about how much they like it. I'd like to hear from anyone who can convince me that the $US199 price tag for a personal licence is really worth it. Does ReSharper REALLY make you more productive in your day to day coding. In a nutshell, what are the features that you love the most? Can I configure it to prevent hijacking all of my familiar keystrokes, or should I not do that and learn to live with it? Any bad points or learning difficulties? Is it stable? I use FxCop, but people were talking about StyleCop last week, and I notice there's a ReSharper plugin for it. It looks like it's rules are so strict that they'd drive you insane. Does it? Or perhaps it can be configured to be less intrusive to the level you like. Greg
