ReSharper?
| If you are using ReSharper then chances are you are programming in C#. Any IDE helps a lot but for small projects VS Code and a few command lines would suffice honestly, it also gives you a small insight of how it's done under the hood.
IDE gives you a lot of freedom by supplying most sensible setting by itself.
I don't know what's your sister doing as a developer but it's not like IDE will type whole solutions and program for you, you have to think for yourself.
| Every developer I know for some reason uses Resharper. I'll agree it's a good tool. But I see absolutely zero use for it.
I live and breathe code. I spend enough time inside a text editor working on projects, challenges, or real work that I know what needs to be done and when. So Resharper i see as something that I personally would not invest in.
I've had other developers admit that they become spoiled by it (including the IDE) and they forget things. That doesn't sound appealing

Like this cat said, using a text editor like VS Code and CLI would suffice for a huge percentage of projects that you would work on.
An IDE I see as useful for large enterprise applications.
| I don't personally know resharper, I don't work with C#, let alone the Windows platform, but I can say it's tools are amazing for moving code around with what basically amounts to some scripts around it, I work with Java and IntelliJ takes care of most of the boiler plate work which I is useless.
Now dishing out your own money for it? Fuck that, but if your company offers it, why not
| Vim is better to be honest.

| Thoughts on tools such as ReSharper that make your coding life easier? I'm taking an online course and the instructor strongly recommenda it, at the same time my sister is against it (she's a developer), she says it's best to do everything without such tools, and that it'll make you a better coder. What's your take?
