If I turn off ReSharper 5's IntelliSense, what am I missing?

During my trial of ReSharper 5, I noticed its version of IntelliSense falls behind Visual Studio 2010's in three ways that were key to me:

  1. ReSharper doesn't support IntelliSense in the "QuickWatch..." debugger utility.
  2. ReSharper's IntelliSense seems to break down for me in .aspx files between the <%= %> tags.
  3. I couldn't find a way to get a listing of properties within an object initializer block. (VS does this if you hit the space key.)

Thankfully ReSharper lets you use Visual Studio IntelliSense alongside its other great features. Am I missing out on anything great by not using ReSharper's IntelliSense?

A five minute comparison I'd say that ReSharper's gives you a bit of help in the typing.

So if you have a method that's A(int a, int b) and you hit ctrl+space when you select A it will add (), will place you in the middle of the brackets and will show you the information about the method. Other than that you're probably not missing much.

For me that is quite helpful, but if you're having trouble doing ASP.NET and those are known bugs / limitations its always best to pick the best tool for the job.
