I have to say that Visual Assist is an excelent product - we use in in our company and honestly I can't imagine developing without VA. It makes writing (and reading!) code so much simpler and quicker.
However, there is one small quirk. In C++ refactoring, you can create a member function in .H file, and then refactor it to the associated .CPP file ("Move implementation to source file").
But you can not do the same with a non-member function - which I think is a shame, because non-member functions are often used, and even recommended over member functions in modern C++.
So I believe such a feature - moving the implementation of non-member function to CPP, leaving its declaration in H - would be really useful and would make our development in C++ another step easier.
Since we already support Create Implementation, Create Declaration and Extract Method on non-member functions, we should add Move Implementation. We'll try to improve the situation in the next release cycle. case=3207
