Visual Studio 2005 Refactoring is useless
I'm writing this as I wait for a simple "Extract Method" refactoring to execute in Visual Studio.NET 2005.
I have used other tools in the past that work several orders of magnitude faster, so why can't Microsoft, with all their money and talent, at least approximate the quality and speed of tools like jetBrains Resharper?
Or at the very least, give me a freakin cancel button when it starts thinking, not after it finally starts iterating over files. That way when I goof and use the Rename refactor, I can cancel and do a manual find/replace (in half the time).
At this point, I'm going to try Scott Guthrie's hack to omit web files from the refactoring and give it one more whirl.
More generally, this is just one more example demonstrating how common a practice it is for Microsoft to target their first SP to reach Feature Complete in their products rather than RTM.
