In the last few contracts that I have done, they all used resharper, and in this current one they don't. The only thing that I am missing is the rename function, it's much harder to use the stock visual studio one.
Codemaid has become my favorite productivity tool, if you can convince your team to use it, the auto format / rearrange on save is great. I also try and push the Micrsofot Analysers and CodeCracker analysers. It's so much nicer to read code that you haven't written when everyone codes exactly the same way. .02c *Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes*.
