Giorgio,
We are currently planning to go RTM in the middle of May.
Still no promises, though.

Can you give us a ballpark idea of when it will go RTM?

Libor,
In the default configuration of my current build, six code inspection options are displayed as hints. The exact number might change, though, as we steadily move on to RTM.

Libor,
Hints are actually meant to be the least noticeable way of highlighting code as they’re optional by nature.
If you’re scrolling your screen really fast, then you’re likely to overlook them.
On top of that, if we take the “use implicitly typed local variable declaration” inspection item as an example, it is highlighted as suggestion in cases when types are explicitly specified at both sides of an assignment and is therefore more noticeable.
Eventually, you can introduce a custom scheme of highlighting your code if you need to - the Inspection Severity tab is at your disposal.

Hi, this looks interesting but I wonder if hints can be well seen. Hints are underlined with green color, right? So I wonder, if I can spot these hints easily when I scroll fast through my code or if I have to look around carefully to find them
