Wow. Via Rory's blog, I came across a new Visual Studio tool, CodeRush. I installed a copy this morning, and I'm doing backflips! I won't go into all of the features, but anyone writing code will immediately see coding speed gains. Best of all, I got to finally uninstall my copy of AXTools CodeSmart, which on my machine was doggedly slow and buggy. Sorry AXTools, but I gave you a year to sort out your issues, and you didn't come through for me. I was hanging on to CodeSmart for one or two features, and CodeRush gives me those features, and much more....

I have been using CodeRush since it was raptor for Delphi 3. The primary developer (Mark Miller) for the product is an amazing speaker, and if you get a chance to hear speak, do it.

Mark Miller is a madman. In every positive sense of the word. In this story is a picture of him demo-ing Coderush at the PDC
