How did you use Resharper
Resharper is a tool. Continuous refactoring is a relationship. If you have an attitude then IMO resharper is the best tool you can get. The tool itself does not remove any kludge.
The size of the codebase makes these tools more important. With large enough codebases, you must trust the tool. I use all og jetbrains tools and think they are amazing.
I still believe that continuous refactoring is best introduced into a project by getting one or more people who know all the tricks on your team.
And yes. I've been working on a stuck project for 7 months refactoring using resharper. I've basically refactored almost every line of code. It might have had to be rewritten from scratch, but that was not an option. Be sure to introduce testing as a refactoring.

This is terribly exciting. I am currently working on versions for a large codebase that we are working on here and for merging changes across two branches, this is awesome.
CTRL + T => Which means I can find the type in no time. To go to SmartcardProductIssueService there is only CTRL + T, SPIS, ENTER and the file opens. SHIFT + ALT + L and it is selected in SolutionExplorer, then I just right clicked to view history and I can start working on the merge.
The refactoring is good, and the "greyed out" effect on unused code helped me spot a few bugs.

Resharper offers so many benefits in terms of developer productivity. It also improves on better design by offering many improvements to code on the fly. I encouraged the people on my team to use all the shortcuts from Resharper and try to break the mouse habit. It's not that you shouldn't be using a mouse at all. But Resharper offers so many rich features that, as a developer, you can almost forget to use a mouse.
Here is a small blog post I wrote about how to use resharper to clean up code http://nileshgule.blogspot.com/2010/10/refactoring-clean-code-using-resharper.html (it takes a few clicks here and there :))
There are various add-ons for resharper like Stylecop, NUnit, etc. that help other tools integrate with resharper and offer a better user (developer) experience.
Hope it helps.
