Blog: Visual Studio add-ins, extensions and tools

Another good tool (especially if you're a Vim fan) is ViEmu: http://www.viemu.com/ . I remember using it a few years ago and it brought over a lot of the functionality that vim users have grown to appreciate. I had a really good experience with the developer as well; he cares and has created a very good addon that I don't think I could live without if I was forced to use Visual Studio.

EDIT: So the story, just in case anyone is interested, is this. I was doing an internship at a small healthcare company in the IT department and was writing a web app in asp.net mvc. I downloaded the ViEmu trial and had been running it for about a month and was loving it. But then my trial was about to expire and I only had like 3 weeks left at the company. I made a random one-off comment about how I wished I had just an extra week or two on my trial as this was pretty much the only time I would be using VS. The developer emailed me with an extended trial key and was extremely helpful throughout the entire process.

Great reviews.
