Anyone and everyone I know who is a professional developer (at least in the C++ world) considers Visual Assist an essential Visual Studio tool.

Daimen Duncan 3w3d

Recently, I was developing at home where I do not have Visual Assist. Progress was so slow. It was like programming with stone knives and bearskins.

Mark Graham BitTorrent

Visual Assist has been so good I don't notice it anymore—until I use an IDE without it. Then, I wonder what's wrong.

David Smith Tyco Electronics

We rely heavily on Visual Assist in my office. Writing code without it is like going back to the Stone Age.

Rasmus Anthin Surgical Science Inc

Visual Assist has proven to always increase productivity. It's a joy increasing a team's capacity 10% just by adding Visual Assist!

Kristoffer Danielsson Kaysoft

I've been using Visual Assist for quite a few years now and it's just gotten better and still better! In my experience, that's very rare for software. You folks rock!!

John West Microsoft, PTLS Test Tech. Lead

I'm addicted to Visual Assist. I absolutely love it and recommend it to everyone.

Kris Whitney

Your product and support are top of the line.

Kristen Overmyer Halifax Biomedical Inc.

Just really, really thank you. I have persuaded management to buy Visual Assist, and I will never ever code again without it. As my software group expands, every coder will have this on his desktop. You guys rock!

Adrian Edmonds CMosaix Ltd.

Every time I hear a developer complain about C++ support in Visual Studio, I point them to you guys. The last one I got to download your trial said something along the lines of, 'Wow, I feel like I'm coding C#.'

Chris Tartamella Bentley Systems, Inc.

Your product is just awesome. I can't code without it.

Jonathan Antoine Microsoft MVP

Thanks for a brilliant productivity booster.

Oliver Schneider Researcher / Developer

I truly believe Visual Assist is the most influential and capable software tool I have ever used.

Ryan Wing

I use Visual Assist every day and find it super valuable, so thanks for creating a great tool!

David Speyrer Valve Software

I use Visual Assist more than ever and it makes my life so much easier. It really is a fantastic piece of software! I'm sure the boost in my productivity that Visual Assist provides plays a role in my success!

Tom Hulton-Harrop Electronic Arts

I use Visual Assist at home and at work. Since I believe very much in positive reinforcement, here goes: YOUR SOFTWARE F**KING ROCKS! Keep up the awesome work.

Dan

Visual Assist is THE best plugin for Visual Studio C++. Do not, I repeat, do not try to work without it—your health is at stake.

Bartosz Bielecki DisplayLink

The “trust the programmer” approach that Visual Assist offers is fitting of the ideal of C++.

Greg Mohacsi

The whole GUI of Visual Assist is completely unobtrusive, yet on a PC without it, I feel like a junkie on cold withdrawal.

Volker Bartheld

Best 99$ ever spent even though it came from my own pocket.

Michael Hekel GFH GmbH

Because you guys are paralyzingly good at your job, I need to procure more licenses for our programmers.
