Refer to this post for discussions on previous versions.

Asking the question again since Visual Studio 2010 has been officially released. Does anyone have any visibility this early on as to which is better? What about any other products that may be out there? This one will probably be on my dime, so I'd like the wisdom of those with experience before pulling the trigger on a decision.

+6  A: 

IMHO I prefer CodeRush

The VS2010 version is out now ... Very stable,very performant.

Update: CodeRush also appears to be cheaper. R#r commercial license appears to be $349 where as CodeRush is $249 dropping to $99 on renewal

All that said, this is a very personal decision. It will depend very much on what you are after.

The following is a link to another answer I gave regarding things to consider when making the decision between tools like this.

Supposedly, the "competitor" in this video comparison I saw just this morning is Resharper. The IDE sure looks like VS 2010. Maybe it was beta or RC? http://bit.ly/cCHhao

The IDE was VS2010. I think the CodeRush version being demoed in this was one of the RC's, but I am not certain... For that you'd need to ask Mark Miller.

+1  A: 

The only news right now on the CR front is the short term news that Code Rush Xpress for VS2010 is released whereas the full thing is not as yet.

In addition to Rory's very complete CR-flavoured review, I thought the one of the most important contributions to the other thread was this one from DX's Mark Miller which is pretty measured (We can trust that any factual inaccuracies will result in a swarm of comments from competitor evangalists.)

But I'm voting to close this as its not a new question and doesnt have new answers (Sorry Rory!)

Ruben Bartelink
I respectfully disagree with your final statement. Please see my comment above.
Boydski
I think this is a valid question, but I completely concede Ruben's right to vote to close it.I would suggest that the statement about voting to close is fine, but is more appropriate as a comment on the question, than as part of an answer.
Rory Becker
@Rory Becker: In general agree with VTC being a comment/vote thing (which I also did). But then I disagree with cut and pasting a big answer. And fragmenting a discussion by asking the saem question again.

@Rory Becker: +1 atcha! Personally I'd love to know whats happened in R# land in the last 18 months. Looking forward to the test runner getting even more polish (extra UI tricks I've been logging suggestions for that suit my usage - I'm pretty confident that as-is, it'll make lots of people happy already).
Ruben Bartelink
If you're going to vote to close a question, you shouldn't answer it as well.
