I've tried ReSharper on and off for 15 years and I was never able to justify its features for just how slow it made everything. But I'm a C# developer. I understand the default C++ experience in VS historically want as good as the default C# experience, ReSharper bright then to parity, and C++ devs generally found the experience to be a universal improvement, rather than trade offs.

I agree that the tooling is about as heavy as you can get when you combine VS and R# with solution wide static analysis turned on, but it's nothing an equally heavy development machine can't fix. Then again, I may be old school in this, as I prefer massive desktop machines and too many screens. What kind of machines you use?

It is also worth noting that the structure of the code affects the static analysis and other features. It is faster to operate with lots of smaller isolated modules than large and coupled ones. The same techniques that kept C++ project compile times manageable, keep the static analysis real-time in C#. One more reason to decouple modules.
