ReSharper - do you use it, does it help, is it any good?

My best advice: Buy it now.

But it takes some time to master it.

I'm wondering if I should continue to practice C# first, before looking at this VS plugin.

I'm a C# newbie, and don't want to overwhelm myself, though if it's better to start out learning with this installed, then perhaps that's what I should do?

Resharper doesn't change anything in C#. It just makes VS easier to use and coding faster.

I've been using ReSharper for over a year now. I'm sure I am using just its most basic functionality so take my advice with this in mind. I don't dislike ReSharper and it has taught me some things with its refactoring suggestions but it is a bit overwhelming. ReSharper seems to be the in vogue productivity tool these days but if I had a need to purchase one for myself (the ReSharper license is available on my work machine), I would also check out CodeRush and JustCode before making a decision.
