How ReSharper helps Visual Studio users
Analyze code quality
On-the-fly code quality analysis is available in C#, VB.NET, XAML, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, HTML, and XML. You'll know right away if your code needs to be improved.
Eliminate errors and code smells
Not only does ReSharper warn you when there's a problem in your code but it provides hundreds of quick-fixes to solve problems automatically. In most cases, you can select the best quick-fix from a variety of options.
Safely change the code base
Automated solution-wide code refactorings help safely change your code base. Whether you need to revitalize legacy code or put your project structure in order, you can lean on ReSharper.
Instantly traverse the entire solution
You can instantly navigate and search in the whole solution. Jump to any file, type, or type member, or navigate from a specific symbol to its usages, base and derived symbols, or implementations.
Enjoy code editing helpers
Multiple code editing helpers include extended IntelliSense, hundreds of instant code transformations, auto-importing namespaces, rearranging code and displaying documentation.

ReSharper makes Visual Studio a much better IDE
Code analysis
ReSharper extends Visual Studio with over 2200 on-the-fly code inspections for C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, JavaScript, TypeScript and other technologies. For most inspections, ReSharper provides quick-fixes (light bulbs) to improve code in one way or another.
Find and get rid of unused code? Migrate your code to C# 7? Convert loops to LINQ at will? Find and prevent possible exceptions? Use a common naming standard? All that and a lot more code improvements is made possible with ReSharper's code analysis.
Refactorings
60+ refactorings and 450+ context actions help safely organize code and move it around the solution, distribute responsibility, decouple, decrease complexity, or simply use alternative language syntax.
Navigation and search
ReSharper helps instantly land at any code in a solution, no matter how large it is. It can also navigate you from any symbol to related code such as implementations of a given interface, extension methods of a class, or usages of a field.
Code formatting and cleanup
Configure and apply code style based on your personal preferences or your team standard. Code style and formatting settings for C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, JavaScript, TypeScript and other languages can be applied in any scope, from a selection to a solution.
Code generation
ReSharper can create a lot of code for you: from new files and classes to conditional blocks and GUIDs; from methods and properties required by an interface being implemented to equality checks and formatting members.
ReSharper Ultimate:
a set of .NET tools and ReSharper C++ in one license
ReSharper Ultimate is a license that combines individual JetBrains .NET tools, as well as ReSharper C++.
Each ReSharper Ultimate license allows a single developer to use ReSharper, ReSharper C++, dotCover, dotTrace and dotMemory.
Why upgrade to ReSharper 2018.1
Full understanding of C#7.2
In this release, we can definitely say that ReSharper understands the ins and outs of C# 7.2.
ReSharper gets the following missing pieces to complete the puzzle: non-trailing named arguments,
private protected access modifier, leading underscores in numeric literals,
in parameter, ref readonly returns and locals,
readonly struct type, ref struct type, and
conditional ref operator.
Navigation improvements
Go to File Member has a new grouping for better presentation of more than one class in a single file, and members are now sorted as they are declared in the file.
When searching in Recent Files, file search results are now included and displayed right after matching recent items. This is useful if you are looking for a file that didn't make it to the list of recent files.
Search Everywhere has a new unit test filter to focus on code entities from unit test projects if that's what you're looking for.
Last but not least, when you invoke Find Usages on a class, you can now choose to restrict search results to default constructor usages if no constructors are defined in the class.
Formatter-related inspections
Every now and then, you want to be notified directly in the code when you are not following formatting rules. With this in mind, ReSharper's code formatting engine introduces inspections and quick-fixes for formatter-related problems: indenting, line breaks, spaces, and blank lines can now be observed and fixed directly in the code editor.
By default, they are disabled so as not to bother anyone who doesn't care about formatting during typing. Go to ReSharper | Options | Code Inspection | Inspection Severity to see all available formatter inspections and select severity levels for those of them that you want to be notified of.

I love ReSharper! Its code suggestions routinely help me write better C#/VB.NET code.
All I can say is I love it. If you don't use ReSharper, drop what you are doing and go out and buy it!
ReSharper is an awesome tool. If you're using it you probably agree and if you aren't you should be. The productivity gains are incredible.
The ultimate Agile tool is ReSharper. Refactoring is just so darn easy that change isn't scary.
