Being an avid resharper user for several years, I cannot live without it.

As time goes by, I also feel that I cannot live with it.  It seems to me that the quality of the product (which has never been great) is spiraling downward.

So this is a word of warning: Before you get addicted to the features, realize that you will pay a price in bloat and bugginess in the studio, that may or may not be substantial.

In one out of my three current setups it's not that problematic.

In my daytime setup with the latest stable patch, it is crashing the studio several times a day, and the bugs I have mailed them have never been fixed.

Reinstall of my environment is probably the way to go right now, but it is eerie that not much has changed except the resharper updates.

Most people I talk to have similar experiences, turning the thing on and off, like a bad relationship. Bugs and bloat seem to appear often at blogs discussing resharper. What are your experiences?

Is it worth 249? Sure, its a great product. 249 + much of your time? Hmm, I'm starting to loose faith.
