What kind of refactoring tools do you get free in eclipse that aren't included in VS 2013 or 2014?



I'm asking the question: maybe vs has improved since I left.

Until recently the meme among tje fanboys seemed to be "VS is the best ide" (i.e.: after you have installed resharper).

Are all modern refactoring tools installed ootb with vs 2013 or 2014?


the short answer is "no" not all "modern refactoring" tools are available in vs2014.

with the advent of roslyn and the compiler api i would be you'll be seeing more and more built into visual studio, or at the very least broken off into free community extensions as the 'guts' of writing these kinds of plugins will get much easier.

i still vastly prefer vs to eclipse just because of responsiveness alone; the core features are great, and i pay for resharper too because it's a great tool worth the money.


Great to know, thanks!
