yes, but not with .NET as far as I'm concerned, Laugh | :laugh:

So let's see.

Code Analysis: never use it

Inline parameter hints: Well IntelliJ already does this, and when I have to look at one of my coworker's screens, I get all confused. Thankfully it's an option that is off by default!

Extract base refactoring: what are classes? Seriously, the number of times I have to actually use abstraction is very small. Interfaces, yes, but this whole OOP thing is overrated.

Code fixes and refactorings: When I've look at what VS suggests, it's usually wrong or reduces readability. Go away. (That got refactored through a "suggestion", haha.)

Use pattern matching: Really? if (!o is bool b)??? If I write something like that, I need to refactor my choice of careers.

Make class abstract: Oh, this is SO EXCITING! Like I can't just type the word "abstract" in front of "class"???

Typeof to nameof. Right. The only time I use Typeof is on a generic or a record of actually not known type at build time.

Visual Basic - nope, stopped reading.

Remove redundant equality: Snazzy. Except I don't write redundant equality. Except I don't write redundant equality.

Sorry Mika.
