Uses a very familiar interface
The dotPeek's UI is very reminiscent of a text editor, it has a large section with decompiled code, file browser, a search and navigation tool, etc. Developers will easily find themselves at home and get used to it quickly.

Easy installation
TeamCity has different installation packages for different operating systems. All the user needs to do is download the correct one and run it.

Con
Expensive
TeamCity has a free tier which includes a maximum of 100 build configurations and up to 3 build agents. If you want to add 10 more configurations and 1 more agent, it will cost $299; unless you choose to buy an enterprise license which starts at $1999.

Pro
Cross-platform build support
The fact that it is based on Java does not hinder TeamCity's ability to support different build environments. TeamCity in fact supports a large number of languages and tools for each of those languages (build runners and test frameworks). Some of the languages/platforms that are supported include: Ruby, .NET, Java.

Con
Poor quality plugins
At least some of them do not work, probably because they're not updated to more recent TeamCity versions.

Pro
Brilliant interface
The user interface of TeamCity is clear, well thought out and the dashboard is highly customizable.

Con
Inter-branch merges trigger emails to unrelated committers
Whenever an inter-branch merge occurs, TeamCity pulls up the first parent of the merge commit and sends them an e-mail. However, this sort of information would be more useful to the merge author.

Pro
Supports build chains
The user can easily compose dependencies between builds by adding snapshot and artifact dependencies, all on the one screen. All output of upstream builds is available to downstream builds. Triggering sets off the entire build chain and supports re-running of the portions of the chain that failed.

Best choice for .NET
Seems to be the best choice for .NET applications, but to be honest: if you stray from the default settings you will be in a lot of pain most of the time.

Con
It can mangle Visual Studio settings
Occasionally Visual Studio and Resharper settings can get into a tug of war. Features can disappear, for example, Intellisense can vanish, and you're often resetting options in hopes of getting yourself back to a working IDE.

Refactoring tools are powerful
Extract interfaces, generate constructors, rename namespaces, create equality statements, create ToString() summaries, etc.

Con
Licencing cost and T&Cs
The license T&Cs are somewhat harsh. The yearly license gets you a year's worth of updates, but you don't get major version release within that window. Instead, you're downgraded to the previous major version that you bought the license on.

Pro
Extremely useful when reading code written by others
ReSharper has a built-in "go to implementation" feature which takes you to the body of the implementation of a method from an interface. This makes it easy to read code written by other people simply by going over the interfaces and using this feature to quickly find the implementation of a particular method.

Con
Performance leaves something to be desired
The performance has been an issue for years, and many developers who have tried this tool gave up because of the performance hit running it. You may often find the tool to make Visual Studio slow down to almost an intolerable level.
