JetBrains has released ReSharper 2026.2 as a VS Code-compatible extension, bringing full .NET tooling — including a debugger, static analysis, refactoring, and unit test running — to AI-first editors like Cursor, Google Antigravity IDE, Devin Desktop, and Kiro. Previously, .NET developers using these editors had to maintain a separate IDE window for debugging and navigation. The extension installs via a single command (`ext install JetBrains.resharper-code`), is available on both the VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX Registry, and includes a free 30-day trial. JetBrains positions this as the most complete .NET option available in these AI-first editors.
