Visual Studio Add-Ins (Poll Result)
Okay, this was more controversial than I ever intended it to be. So please take the results with a pinch of salt. There’s a clear divide between ReSharper and CodeRush and all the others.
There were a lot of comments on my original post with other suggestions for “must-haves” (well worth a look) and “why can’t I vote for more than one” (that would make it too easy) and “why’s xyz not there” (because I have to restrict it to a limited number of options).
Maybe I’ll look for a smarter polling system or maybe I’ll stick to safer topics like your favourite cheese or something. Or maybe I’ll just run away and get job in the circus…

@Mike, My comments, both on your post and in private were not about creating controversy. It was about understanding that the polling system used can be easily tricked by cleaning out cookies, and as I mentioned I observed some very strange behaviour. I'm guessing there's a reason behind a poll, even if it's to personally know the result.Anonymous

Hi Hadi. I wasn't referring specifically to your comments but rather that the poll had generated more controversy than I had ever intended. And yes, I agree it's possible (easy) to trick the system if you want to. Best regards, MikeAnonymous

Might I suggest re-posting this with a link to Survey Monkey survey ?Anonymous

It's sad that visual studio needs an Add in to support basic stuff like proper refactoring.
