[refactoring] Refactoring is fun

I'm a fan of Martin Fowler and of refactoring. I've used rafactoring add-ins for different Java-editors the last years, and was very happy to read about the rafactoring support in the upcoming Whidbey. Until then, I'm using using the C# Refactoring tool from Xtreme Simplicity, which has refactoring support for the following methods:

Extract Method 
Change Method Signature 
Decompose Conditional 
Extract Variable 
Extract Superclass 
Extract Interface 
Copy Class 
Push Up Members 
Rename Type 
Rename Member 
Rename Parameter 
Rename Local Variable 
Find References 
Tidy Imports 
Encapsulate Field 

I've only tried a couple of them yet, like the "Extract Method", "Tidy Imports" and "Rename Xxx" and they work great. Pity there isn't support for VB.NET, since I use that alot too.
