I've gotten so used to this extension that I can't really run without it anymore. It makes searching, refactoring code, and writing new code so much easier. Some feature examples: write out a class declaration and then have Visual Assist write the stubs for the member definitions for you in the corresponding source file, rename variables across the whole project, search for declarations/definitions faster than IntelliSense can find them, open a file anywhere in the solution in only a few keystrokes, etc, etc. It's quite handy and easy to use.

It's remarkable that they still support the full range of Visual Studio versions over history, all the way from Visual Studio 6 to Visual Studio 2022.

Customer support has been very helpful as well, whenever I've run into bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the features are a little annoying to configure properly. I use VA alongside GitHub Copilot, and VA's suggestion menus that appear while typing will conflcit with the tab-completion keybinding for Copilot and I haven't found a good way around that so I generally leave VA's suggestion boxes disabled. Those suggestion lists also sometimes complete what I'm typing with something completely nonsensical that is nowhere near what I was typing (e.g. calling a destructor somewhere in some random STL class declaration, instead of calling the class function name I was typing out).

The "open file in solution" dialog has some bizarre behavior on occasion, where the search text I gave it will utterly confuse it and it doesn't show files I would expect it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
