A Tipsy, Unscientific, and Biased Survey on the Adoption of Refactoring Tools Available in IDEs by Software Engineering Researchers
Read OriginalThe article details an informal, 'tipsy' survey conducted at a software engineering symposium reception, where the author polled 33 researchers about their personal adoption of automated refactoring tools (like those in Eclipse or VS Code) in daily coding. It explores the contradiction between extensive academic research on refactoring and the researchers' own practical tool usage, sparked by a conversation with a refactoring expert who admitted to not using such tools.
