Since the project's early days, JetBrains' Open-Source team has been supporting Rubberduck with free OSS licenses for all core contributors - and we deeply thank them for that. ReSharper has been not only a tool we couldn't do without; it's been an inspiration, the ultimate level of polished perfection to strive for in our own IDE add-in project. So just like you're missing out if you write VBA and you're not using Rubberduck, you're missing out if you write C# and aren't using ReSharper.

## What is Rubberduck?
39

40
34
The Visual Basic Editor (VBE) has stood still for over 20 years, and there is no chance a first-party update to the legacy IDE ever brings it up to speed with modern-day tooling. Rubberduck aims to bring the VBE into this century by doing exactly that.

Of course there's more! There's tooling to help synchronizing the project with files in a folder (for source/version control), some auto-completion features like self-closing parentheses and quotes; there's a regular expression assistant, a replacement for the VBE's *add/remove references* dialog, and so many other things to discover, and yet even more to implement.

## Roadmap
94
+
95
+
After over two years without an "official" new release, Rubberduck version jumped from 2.5.2 to 2.5.9, adding minor but interesting features to an already impressive array.
96
+
97
+
### The road ahead
98
+
99
+
Rubberduck 2.x is now planned to end at 2.5.9.x, perhaps with a number of small revisions and bug fixes, but nothing major should be expected, as the developers' attention is shifting to the 3.0 project:
100
+
101
+
- Parsing and understanding VBA code is moving to a language (LSP) server
102
+
- We're making a new editor _inside_ (for now) the Visual Basic Editor that will be the LSP client
103
+
- Baseline server-side feature set for 3.0 is everything 2.5.9 does
104
+
- Baseline client-side feature set for 3.0 is the 2.5.x UI (perhaps tweaked a bit/lot) hosted in the Rubberduck Editor
105
+
106
+
Fully controlling the editor opens Rubberduck to everything we ever dreamed of:
107
+
108
+
- In-editor syntax and static code analysis reporting and quick-fixing
109
+
- Full editor theming, custom syntax highlighting
110
+
111
+
