.net reflector is free** again - why didn't anybody tell me?

Well "almost" free - the functionality that I loved about it most - the ability to rewrite IL - is available in two free products...

  1. Telerik's JustDecompile - takes the place of .NET Reflector; and doesn't cost a cent.
    This in itself is nothing earth shattering. There are a stack of other free de-compilers. However, when you add on...
  2. Reflexil - you regain the awesome ability to edit assemblies as you please. Make those locked down private method's public, adjust resources, or just rewrite chunks of code.
Neat...
