Erik Lane has recently posted about several of the reasons why he likes JetBrain's ReSharper utility for Visual Studio .NET. My new job has provided me with a license for ReSharper and while I've only been using ReSharper for about two weeks, I can already see the benefits of the utility. As Erik indicates, the highlighting is helpful in making the code easier to read. I've also found the auto complete feature to be helpful, as well as the code analysis indicators. It does take a little longer for a project to load with ReSharper installed, but only by a few seconds on my laptop. Read Erik's post for a more thorough review.
