CodeRush - This Addin ticks me off!

For anyone who has developed in .NET using Visual Studio, I am sure you probably have heard of CodeRush. Well, I personally think this addin is a PIECE OF CRAP! The thing hogs memory like no other and can leave Visual Studio sitting there for 30 seconds or more doing nothing! I can write a A LOT of code in 30 seconds and I do not like to wait.

Now, I know what you are thinking. You have too many of its features enabled. Duh, it will be slow, it comes with nearly everything in it enabled. But you are wrong. I have disabled nearly everything! I disabled the Smart Copy/Paste, the Smart Return, the Templates, the Hints, EVERYTHING except the Flow indicators and the line counting per method (that is just a nice feature). However, whenever I do a copy paste, it acts like the Smart Copy/Paste is enabled and it takes 2-3 seconds before I can move the cursor again!

So just to warn everyone, CodeRush can cause you to actually be less efficient. You will sit and wait for you to be able to move the cursor again for countless seconds. Take it from me, it isn’t worth it and its definitely not worth $250.00!
