Visual Studio x64 is Not to Be

I am rather ashamed to admit that up until now I've never really tried to use Resharper , the very well known Visual Studio add-in. Today I decided to give Resharper 2.5 a try and was really blown away. Comparing Visual Studio 2005 without Resharper to Visual Studio 2005 with Resharper, is like comparing Turbo Pascal to, well, Visual Studio 2005. There's really no match here. It starts with the little things, like how it always adds a matching brace to any brace you use ( { , [ , ( ). It makes you...
