Where the layers disagree ⚡
4 CONTRADICTIONS DETECTEDALIGNMENT (USER + VIDEO): Both user and video layers agree that Visual Studio has natively built-in many features that ReSharper historically provided, diluting its unique value proposition.
TENSION (VIDEO): Video commenters find the continuous testing feature significantly slower and less responsive than competitor tools like NCrunch.
TENSION (USER): Users experience significant friction with NUnit 3 integration and extension removal, often requiring manual registry edits or downgrading packages to achieve basic functionality.
TENSION (USER): Users express a strong desire for cross-platform (Linux/Mac) .NET development tools, but acknowledge ReSharper is tied to Visual Studio and is explicitly not a standalone IDE.
