I agree on #1 especially – it’s great to have your machine figure out your imports for you.

Definitely, VS without Resharper simply sucks! It’s a totally different experience altogether. The only little problem is that once you install Resharper, you’ll find things that appear twice, like refactoring. The plus is that you can turn things on and off, and do a little bit of mix and match. I myself go with Resharper implementation of pretty much everything and turn off VS’s, but it all depends on what you like. NetBeans is definitely great, but I would love to have something like Resharper for it, although things are improving with each and every version. And BTW, no, IntelliJ simply doesn’t do it for me. It simply hides too much by default and gets too much in the way.

If you use Visual SVN for source control using subversion files added to the project are automatically added to source control

Trasa covered most of it; I’ll clarify that Visual Studio does automatically add files to source control and show changed lines, but only if you’re using Team Foundation System. Once you go Microsoft, you’ve gotta go all Microsoft and spend money on things like Resharper for the features they forgot

Has anyone used NetBeans for large PHP applications? Hacking Gallery2 in PHP Eclipse is always a bit awkward because of certain naming conventions…

oooo! I get to be the first guy to say “ReSharper adds all (most?) of this to Visual Studio!” Beating the rush, and all that.

Seriously, go download the eval of R# 4.0 and live with it for a while. It definitely does #1, #2 I’m not sure about (never noticed but I *think* it can?) #3 yes, #4 um, ok no, but if you use the VS & source integration doesn’t visual studio already do this? and #5 – again, doesn’t VS2008 already do this? If not then R# must have added it in.

Anyway, go get ReSharper, it makes using Visual Studio almost pleasant.
